This is my third year of keeping track of my reading. And I've found it to be a very useful thing to do indeed. I just wish I'd done it earlier.
My TBR pile has been affected by some large purchases in 2010 and 2011 in Fictionwise sales. Although Fictionwise has become less attractive now, there are many Baen Ebook bundles that I rather fancy reading, so trying to keep ebook purchases down is hard work.
The average price of the (non-free) ebooks I read in 2010 was $3.71. In 2011 is was $2.85, and so far in 2012 it's $2.77
I suspect the reduction in average price is partly because of the large number of highly discounted ebooks bought in 2010 and 2011.
No doubt it will go up again over the next few years.
