So far I'm not buying books under the agency model at all because I can't find a way to do so! (Other threads bear witness to the fact that I'm trying...)
What I do going forward will depend on IF/WHEN the publishers deign to roll their books back out to the retailers. As Harper Collins at least hasn't managed to get their own webstore up and running yet, I'm not holding my breath waiting for anyone else to get them back soon.
But my view of what's a sensible price to pay for a book won't change so my massive TBR stack might go down as I buy less. Since getting my reader I've probably been buying faster than I read so that's not neccessarily a bad thing. Or if they straighten out the prices on their backlists I might buy older books rather than the hottest new thing. Even that will probably mean I buy less though -- if I'm not tempted to buy something by a new author when reviews are coming out then chances are I won't remember to keep checking back to see if the price has come down. That means less established authors might lose out.
