I think the higher prices are definitely affecting my ebook buying. I have bought a few since the new model went into effect but all were either in the $6 or so range, or they were ones that hit the best-seller list and went down to $9.99.

There were also three books I wishlisted that were well above my price comfort zone and while I was waiting for them to go down in price, my public library got them in their e-collection so I downloaded them for free. One was just this morning---I had the newest Kellerman open in another window, pondering a Fictionwise buy ($17 is a lot for an ebook but it was on 100% micropay) and on a whim I checked for any library new releases and there it was. I saved myself $17! In the old days of 'everybody has a coupon code sometime' I might have bought it the day it came out.

So, have you spent more? Less? The same?
