I have to admit, since I started writing, I actually spend a lot less money on books, mostly because I don't have the time to read like I once did. I remember as a teenager spending all my allowance on books, coming home from the local book store with an arm full of reading material. I can't imagine the menace I'd have been if Kindles had been around back then. I'd probably still be paying off my reading habit.
Nowadays I'm getting a little spoiled,though. Ninety-nine cent books are like potato chips. You can't have just one, so despite whatever the public opinion is about low price equaling low quality, I tend to look for less expensive books, and I find myself clucking my tongue at any eBook priced over $9.99.
If you're like me, and you're looking for some good reads, check out the Book Lovers' Buffet Vacation Getaway. From now until June 22, 2012 you can find more than 150 romance books priced at or discounted to $0.99. Come on, you know you can't buy just one. [You can also win some cool prizes.]
On the other hand, if you don't feel comfortable with a $0.99 book, and you feel a higher price denotes higher quality, I've got just the book for you:
I found the print copy of my erotic anthology on sale at Amazon for the tidy sum of $2,999.99. Is it worth it? Well, darn it, of course it is! That's authentic gluteous maximus on that cover there, ladies!
At this, price, won't have to worry if you're getting quality work...and you won't even have to worry about paying for shipping!
It's good to know there are books available to fit every budget out there. Now all I have to do is find a bunch of readers who consider $2,999.99 to be pocket change, and I'm ready to roll!

Heaven might very well be, having a book budget of three thousand bucks....
That's hilarious. I sometimes stumble across obscenely high book prices at Amazon and it makes me wonder what the heck these people are thinking. Yeah, I can see it for like a first edition Twain, signed. Not that I don't love you, Jennifer, but $2999.99 for an ebook? And you wouldn't even get a cut of that. Feh.
And I'm with JB. Heaven would be having 3K to buy books. Right now my wallet has moths - at least with regard to my book budget. So I'm picking up new books via Kindle free-reads. And drooling over all the other titles I can't afford right now.
Never mind about the 'you wouldn't get a cut' comment. I misread the image. Derp.
To be honest, I think I'd have a hard time spending $3000 on books at the moment - but let me loose in a craft store and forget it.
