When this kind of thing happens, you must try to remember that the books will still be for sale tomorrow. And they'll still be for sale next week. And sometime over the next year, they may well be on sale at a much lower price.
So just add them to your Amazon wish list, and wait. You've read them already in pbook form. There's no urgent need to have them as ebooks. And you have lots of nice books on your TBR pile/folder that you
haven't read before, and that you'll enjoy reading just as much or more as re-reading an old favourite.
If you want to encourage others to buy the books of your favourite author, take a few minutes to download the sample (to check the formatting), and then write a review of the book at Amazon. That will be of as much or more benefit to the author than your single purchase.
Most importantly: if you're tempted to buy ebooks while you still have a large TBR pile, just come on Mobileread, and get support in resisting the temptation in this thread. We're here to help.
It has now been 26 days since I last bought an ebook. My TBR pile has just got under 425. I don't need to buy more ebooks. That's what I keep telling myself.
