I am, in retrospect, glad that my earlier poverty and die-hard cheapness means that I don't think I've ever bought a Card book new, only used. And grateful that by the time I realized, "Oh, if I want to really support an author I like, I should buy their books new" (I was slow, what can I say), I also realized I wouldn't buy a Card book new if you paid me. So to speak.
