Nor as good as it could be! I didn't track books bought, but for books read I averaged $3.71 in 2010, $2.85 in 2011 and $2.77 so far this year.

But I have tracked the price of ebooks I've bought in 2012: An average of $2.25 so far!


I advise ignoring the pre-orders as far as a purchase resolution goes, and not buying any more ebooks until at least the 1st August. (And no pre-ordering books now that won't come out until after 1st August!)

The deals will come around again, and possibly cheaper. (I somewhat regret my purchase of the Young Wizards ebooks in July last year at just a 15% discount! Although at least there I did really enjoy reading the ones in the series that I hadn't read before.)
