Yes, I didn't think it through properly, did I?

With all the authority vested in me as OP of this thread, I now make this ruling:

Henceforth, books purchased before the start of your no-buy period, whether by subscription or pre-orders do not count. But pre-orders made in the no-buy period do count, even if the book won't come out until after the no-buy period expires.

There. Those that like rules now have one to follow.

As for me, it's now been 39 days since I last bought an ebook! I nearly slipped up today, when someone pointed out that The Forever War, that excellent SF book by Joe Haldeman was now available as a DRM-free ePub for just $3.99 directly from the publisher. But I nobly resisted! No more books for me until at least 1st August.
