It was a combination of amazingly good deals at Amazon, astonishing discounts at Kobo, and a resumption of buying the Baen Monthly bundles (since they started making them a time-limited offer).
The 32 books I get by subscription shouldn't have been a problem.

You still did better than I did with that part - I was sort of also aiming at not buying more than 120 books this year, i.e. same as my to-read challenge, and now it's mid-November and my spreadsheet tells me I've bought 270 ebooks (for myself; I'm not counting the ones I've bought for mum, which I may or may not eventually read myself) + a few dozen paper books.
Still, compared to last year's 436 bought (i.e. non-free) ebooks, it's a marked improvement, I'd say.
