I think I'll basically stick to the same goals I had this year: read 120 books, not buy more than 120 ebooks for myself (I'm excluding the ebooks I will buy for my mother, and I'm excluding paper books I buy because I want those books on my shelves - those shouldn't be more than a dozen, anyway).
The reading part was not a problem this year - I'm at 134 and a half books now - but the buying part, well.
On the bright side, during the recent Kobo coupon rain, I actually started to run out of books to buy.
There are already at least 15 books I know I will want to buy and read next year (the books I'm willing to preorder and read if not on release date then as soon as my current book is done); for the rest...
Let's say either no more than 120 ebooks-for-myself a year or no more than $50 spent on ebooks-for-myself per month? That latter should give me some leeway in case there are really good sales of the "oooh, I've heard of this, that might actually be good" sort of books...
I have over 1000 unread ebooks (+ who knows how many paper books) now, so my basic aim, really, is to read more than buy. Even if I manage to make a tiny dent into that pile, that'll be a step in the right direction.
