I always check kindle prices, and if they are close to physical price of the book I will more often then not simply not buy.  Overall I still prefer to buy hardcover versions of books I really really want, but if I&#x27;m on the fence and see a kindle book that has at least a decent markdown I will more easily make that purchase then give away precious bookshelf space to a book I&#x27;m  not sure is a must have.  I&#x27;ve forgone quite a few purchases I would have been likely to make for that very reason.
