It has now been five days since I last bought an ebook.
As I've mentioned before, I don't count free ebooks. I'll get free ebooks if they look even the slightest bit interesting, but I don't (usually) add them to my TBR pile. I feel that passing up a free ebook that there's the slightest chance I might want in the future is just foolishness, not sensible restraint.
However, I won't fall for any special offer other than free. No matter how low the price, if I'm not going to read it now, there's the chance that it'll be offered for free long before I'd get around to reading it. So Fictionwise's current 50% off coupon falls on deaf ears. There'll be another 60% offer sometime in the next year, and I have two to three years of books on my TBR list.
That's how I'm keeping my resolution. I think: "It'll be available again, just as cheap or cheaper. There's no need to buy it today."
