I was thinking more of the authors that jump immediately to the top of your reading list although probably already have 50 on the list. I've never had more then 10.

I buy the first edition of pretty much all of these, or sometimes the e-arcs in the Baen's authors case, or even arcs on Ebay if they are not outrageously priced. If I want to read a book, I either buy it in first edition or get it from the library.
I hate mmpb and I use them just for portability for some authors that have huge hc (Peter Hamilton comes to mind - I have most of his books as hc, mmpb and some even bought as e-books too)
I also buy the UK (or Canadian for that matter) first edition if it appears first even if the US appears only a month or two later (bookdepository.co.uk has excellent prices and free and fast - 5 working days from order to my door - shipping)
