It's been less than a dozen, and they were either discounted or purchased at Sony where I still have credit from the 40% off gift cards from last spring. I have a Nook, and I generally don't buy Agency ebooks from B&N because the publisher prices the ebook 11% higher than the mass market paperback, which B&N discounts.
I thought I hit the jackpot when I bought 17 books with the discount. I am in awe!

Since agency pricing went into effect, I have stuck to my person "no ebooks over $9.99" pledge. I haven't purchased the latest Stephen King because it's too high. I've skipped a few other series books for the same reason.
