Most of the books I buy aren't "art I love".
They are largely interchangeable genre fiction that I'm reading because I enjoy the act of reading, and am too tired to read something 'good'.
I have a handful of favourite authors I still buy the paperbacks of, even though I'll probably never read them, but other than that I'll buy whichever eBooks look like they might be interesting and are currently on sale, and at some point I might around to reading them.
The rest of the books are fungible, as far as I am concerned.
