50 USD is my hard limit for a single book. Obviously, that doesn't include any textbooks. I'm a huge fan of reference books and I absolutely would buy a set of world book encyclopediae if I had the money and the physical space.
I do like hardcover and paperback, but most books I read are digital. I find having too many paper and ink books to be rather inconvenient, but I keep a full bookshelf of volumes that simply would not look good on a screen.
Usually these are the books with graphics or illustrations that are integral to the reader's enjoyment of the work. In my opinion, e-books do not usually favor images over compatibility, so there will be huge images that you can't zoom in on, compressed images that you can't enlarge, and weird placement of images that don't align with the context the text above and below them provide.
