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

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.
I'm sorry, is the puff of logic trying to regain solidity, errr..., authority?
Can't quite hear you .... bad connection ... breaking up .....
