I live in Mexico and read in English so I'm not a standard reader. On occasion, there is a specific book I want to read and I will buy it from Kindle at the retail price if that is necessary. That's rare, though.
I'm a compulsive reader and when I lived in the U.S. our local bookstore would give me copies of pre-published books to read in exchange for my review. I suppose I get the same sort of service from Kindle when I read their new books by new authors.
In Mexico and before Kindle I read used paperbacks. The English library in my city would have a lot of paperbacks left by tourists who had finished them. They cost much less than new paperbacks.
Now, I read inexpensive novels.
I also hunted the remainder tables at the corporate bookstores. Of course, where their used to be five or six tables in books for one or two dollars the more efficient publishing systems reduced remainders to almost zero.
I prefer ebooks over paperbooks.
