Not that it is my right to get it cheaper, it's just a factor when I'm deciding what I'm willing to pay.

Been a few years since I last did the rounds of Second Hand or Antique Books stores ... Antiquarian anyone. And it doesn't look as though I ever will again ... but never say never.
Have you found that newer second hand books are harder to get these days, since mass take up of ebooks? One would imagine they would be, and becoming increasingly harder to get as the years roll by.
It seems to me, at least here, that the number of second hand book shops has diminished.
