Broke down and bought the December 2012 Webscriptions bundle (Monthly Baen Bundle I think they're calling it now.) It has a long awaited book (Darkship Renegades, by Sarah Hoyt), and several others I'm at least mildly interested in. But I have mixed feelings about buying Webscriptions these days. Inevitably, I end up spending more than if I only bought the books that I really, really would buy anyway. True, I often find good secondary books in a bundle, and the total price per book is quite reasonable. ($2.57/book, in this case), IF I would have bought all the books anyway. And I could offer a freebie to a friend, if I had any who weren't already Webscriptions readers. But I rarely would buy all the books anyway, and I've used up all my friends who are really legitimate freebie recipients (though I've got October and December coupon codes, should anyone be interested.)
