I won't buy any of my favorite writers books at the prices they charge. I'll try to get it at the library, otherwise I will buy 2-3 other books instead with that money. If I happen to come across a sale of said book at 2.99 or less, THEN I will buy it. Otherwise, I will keep reading the tons of other books that I have.
Obviously there are some people who care more about price than they about specific authors and books, while others who care more about authors and specific books than they do about rock bottom prices. That's why you have Costco and Whole Food. Not everyone wants exactly what you want and not everyone wants exactly what I want. That's why some authors churn out best selling book after best selling book and others are simply generic authors.
