For years I have waited for the paperback edition of most books - or checked the hardcovers out of the library. Only a few books that I KNEW I wanted to keep were worth the extra cost.

So now, some of my favorite authors have some "hardcover" books out. They aren't New York Times bestsellers yet, but they ARE about 1/2 of the hardcover price in electronic format, so they are tempting.

At the moment, I'm simply waiting for the price to drop to $9.99 to add them to my Sony. Previously, I would have simply waited until they were available in paperback format, or even waited till I could pick them up at a used book store.

My point is that I have a price limit that I use in buying books. I won't buy it until it's in a reasonable price range for me. When it is a reasonable price I will buy it. It's that simple.
