Good news, with them being so cheap, my average per book for the year is only $1.48. and I have spent less than $9 total ($8.89). I can live with that.

It's for offers like that, that we resist buying ebooks at other times.
I have bought four books this year that I should probably have passed on (Life of Pi, 1227 QI Facts To Blow Your Socks Off, Thieves of the Hundred Gates and The Masks of Time) and I added one freebie to my TBR that I shouldn't have done (Starborne).
Unfortunately, even without those, my bought books this year are 42, with an average cost almost exactly $3.
On the plus side, I have read 50 books, and discarded one unread from my TBR, for a net reduction this year so far of four books.
I could have doubled my reduction if I'd just been a bit more resolute!
I shall do better in the rest of the year.
