Obviously. But I'm pretty sure every person here has limited discretionary income. It's a normal part of life.
I can't imagine paying release hardback price for every book I read. That would come to the price of a decent secondhand car every year, or eating a substantial restaurant dinner out every night. (And I'm not even including the graphic novels.) It's simply not an option. And we are on an above median income.
(Not to mention most hardbacks are inaccessible to me anyhow - too heavy.)
