I generally dont pay the hardback price for hardback books. I will get some books when they are new but they will be on sale/promo price. At B&N I get 30% to 40% of for being a member. I would say in the last 10 years a majority of fiction books I buy are from the bargain tables. A lot of those books are cheaper than the paperback books. If I can get the ebook for the same price as the Hardback on sale as a new release I would consider it. If it is more than the hardback I wont buy either version, (or if I really want it I will buy the Hardback on sale.
Because of shelf space I have not bought very many physical books in the last two years, but I have over 85 ebooks since I got my Sony.
$9.99 is what I think most realitivly new ebooks should cost. I think older ebooks should cost no more than the paperback price. If ebooks costs rise significantly my purchases will drop. I wont pay extra for the privilage of reading on my Sony reader and I really don't like the idea of having to wait three months after a pbook is published to inflate sales of a hardback novel.
I have yet to have an author sign an ebook for me but I have had an author sign a pbook of an ebook I read then bought a physical book at a signing because I liked their work.
