Welcome to the thread, Tracy. I regret to inform you that a previous ruling is that pre-orders do count. (Either books pre-ordered before the no-buy period that arrive during the no-buy period must count, or books pre-ordered during the no-buy period that arrive after must count. My ruling was that it should be the latter that count. Otherwise people with automatic subscriptions would have to count those.)
But you can reach 1st August without buying any more ebooks. When you feel tempted, post here and we'll encourage you not to buy. Try adding the books to a wishlist instead.
As for freebies — my feeling is that there's no harm in getting them. I don't usually add them to my TBR pile. I just look on them as a way to resist actual purchases. And who knows — five or ten years down the line, I might get around to them.
