Of course, you aren’t obligated to, nobody is. But there is a direct connection between Estonians that do pay price and the existence of those books. Just like for any particular author.

I do buy some Estonian authors. What I don't buy in Estonian are translated fiction books (unless there is no English translation at all, for example some books translated from Russian or Finnish). If there is an English translation available, I'll usually buy that. Because it's usually several times cheaper.
Occasionally I buy translated nonfiction, because I often prefer to read nonfiction in Estonian rather than in English, but not always.
