No, I suspect my buying habits will be pretty much the same.
I'll decide it's time to purchase a book and go to a website. I'll look around ... looks good, looks good, looks good but holy heck do they really think I'm going to spend $15!!!
Guess which two books I'll buy?
I really don't ever "wait" for a book in that I'm an impulse buyer. If you don't convince me to buy your book in about the first 20 seconds then you'll probably not sell me your book. If a book falls into the Holy Heck category I'm not going to place it on a list and price watch it. I just forget about it. I also hardly ever anticipate a New Release. There are a few authors that I consistently enjoy but generally I find books and authors to be highly interchangeable in that there are literally thousands of them out that who all have the capability of entertaining me for a couple of hours.
So really - if you want to sell me a book you are going to have 1. Make me aware of it's existence and 2. Make it available at the price I'm willing to pay.
I don't see that changing.
