Just the same....
My New Year's resolution was to ignore sales and coupons and only buy books (paying full and even agency price) when I was ready to read them, theorizing with a high degree of confidence that I'd save money. But the Kobo coupons in particular got me, especially the multi-use 40%-off ones in January and February.
Past time to get resolute. From now on, I can only buy a book just as I'm about to read it.

Four days later and I'm doing great! I've only bought the three Harrington books on sale at Amazon, the Coolidge biography at B&N's half-price sale, and used the 25% off coupon at Sony to purchase a book on my to-read list for this year. And as soon as I redeem the two very, very good coupons I have at Kobo, I'll stop. No more ebooks! Sigh.
I need an intervention.
