Too much money for books which will probably be:
reprinted again
I already have in Floppies or tpb
I like my hardcovers in "like new" condition

Its not like I'm suffering for waiting for or even not getting these books. My backlog of books to read is quite extensive. I am also a voracious reader of many genres of print books. I'm currently reading the latest Wheel of Time novel by Sanderson after just finishing Dick Winter's (from Band of Brothers fame) memoirs.
