E-books: most recent batch I actually went and paid for, 11 MultiFormat w/Fictionwise 50% off coupon in the last week of September. Got a giant chunk of Lawrence Watt-Evans' Ethshar series, completed the series of Nick Pollotta's Bureau 13 tie-in novels, some classic sf/fantasy collections of Fredric Brown, Judith Merrill, and Marion Zimmer Bradley, and a historical novel by Morgan Llywelyn.
And of course I download time-limited promo freebies almost indiscriminately.
Paper books:
Used - library book sale last Sunday. Filled a box full of mostly sf/fantasy paperbacks for 10 bucks, and I got the complete Oxford University Press A History of Royal Dutch Shell, all 3 volumes + appendix w/DVDs for another $8. Items were not ex-libris discards and were apparently donated by patrons, so in condition ranging from moderately-used to looking brand new.
New - Ordered 3 books (Terry Pratchett's latest, + 2 graphic novels) from Chapters on Sunday, which will not ship and for which I will not be charged until the pre-order item is ready. Received 4 books from previous pre-order, accordingly charged (Tanya Huff's latest + 2 in French translation + 1 graphic novel) from Chapters yesterday.
