I've been toying with the notion of getting the Hunger Games at that price.
On the one hand, it is very, very cheap and I get entered into one of Kobo's contests (which I'd probably never win, but you never know) and Help Support A Fellow Canadian (until the Japanese buyout goes through).
On the other hand, I've heard that the books are okay but not nearly as good as the hype would make them out to be and I'm not particularly interested in their subject matter/theme and the library has them anyway (though probably not in stock due to the upcoming film and all).
I suspect I'll probably splurge, since I'm vaguely curious and it is a very low price and I want to encourage the publisher/stores to offer more such very low prices on future things.
Mind you, on the basis of that reasoning, I should have picked up those 25 cent Google Play introductory specials, but I was insufficiently interested in those to go to the bother of setting up a Google account for their store (or more to the point, picking which of my existing Google accounts the books would be tied to) and I feel surprisingly little regret at having "missed" those.
I think half my buying "problems" stem from apathy rather than over-interest. I just don't want most of the stuff offered on sale which seems to be tempting everyone else.
