We had actually already curtailed a lot of our ebook buying before the switch since my wife got laid off in March. The couple books we have bought, were part of series that we're very interested in, and pretty much without exception they were a royal pain to get. The publisher moved the release date back twice on one that we pre-ordered, and then it still wasn't available for at BOB when it was supposed to be. Two others were either unavialable on their release date or unavialable at all in the stores where I've got credit built up.
There have been a couple others that I would have bought, if I could. "The Big Short," by Michael Lewis would have been a total impulse buy for anything under $20, if it had been available as an ebook. I bought "The Greatest Trade Ever" instead. I've been wanting to buy the Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson since I finished the free copy of "Warbreaker" he put out on his website, but until I can use up some credit at FW, BOB, or the Sony story, I'm not getting any of those.
The publishers apparently believe I need to get to work on my backlog.
