Set yourself a meeting in your calendar for the day the book is released. Then just go buy it at that time. There is no "running out of stock" for ebooks...ergo, no advantage to preordering them.

Sure, if someone had a "free promo", get that as soon as you can. But for ebooks, the pricing can be highest on day one and drop relatively soon thereafter. I found that out the hard way when I pre-ordered the latest Tom Clancy at $14.99 only to see it drop to $12.99 a couple weeks later.

Now I don't prebuy books at all. I put desired books in my "to be read" list (a doc I keep on google docs) -- and when I'm ready to read the book, then I buy it.
