I am Caleb and I have a problem.
I've tried to stop looking out for freebies now and only respond to some of the more obvious giveaways.
I have less problems with purchasing books and I have extensive wish lists at Smashwords, Amazon and Baen. But I certainly struggle with freebies, especially if it's a limited time offer.

I have a similar problem in that I often check for freebees. Of course I not only get those at Amazon but often check the Mobipocket format books here at MR. I don't usually catalog them though aside from putting books by the same author in folders so I know they're by the same author. I thought I'd not bought a book for over a month but found I had bought at least one. "The Harvard Classic Shelf of Fiction" over at Amazon for $2.99 (I stick mostly to the free stuff). Even the free books add up after a while though. Eventually I'll have enough free books from MR and SmashWords to fill a CD disk.
