I took the survey - but it really didn't give the option to describe my ebook buying patterns.

My normal order of preference is something like this:

1) ebook priced at or below MMPB prices.
2) remaindered hardcover at or below MMPB prices.
3) ebook priced between $10-15 biased toward the low end of the scale.
4) new release hardcover.
5) MMPB. (If at all possible I won't buy this format at all any more.)

I'll pay $6-8 for the ebook of a MMPB
I'll pay roughly $10 for the ebook of a new release TPB
I'll pay $12-15 for the ebook of a new release HC

I would prefer DRM-free but will accept Adept/ePub if I have to. The other big point, and this is particularly huge with Tor/Macmillan, is that you have to sell it where I am willing to buy - and that means not just Amazon.
