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.)

I know what you mean. At $15 it only needed three ebooks I wanted in the month to make it an absolute bargain. At $18 it needs three books I want AND at least one other book that I would like.
I even bought an individual book instead of the monthly bundle, last month!
