When I switched from the C64 to my first Amiga I made the choice to only go for purchased software. It meant I didn't have all the latest games, but it did mean that I really had time to play the ones I had. Back on the C64 when I had loads and loads of tapes with pirated games I really only loaded them up, played for a minute and said "Next!".
For productivity software I mostly relied on Amiga Format and CU Amiga cover disks.
