As a motivation to keep myself on the right track, I made the effort today of adding all my 2010 and 2011 ebook purchases to my 2012-2013 spreadsheet as well.
Now it looks even worse, and seeing the sum total of well over $3200 spent on ebooks over four years is enough to keep me on the straight and narrow this year, I hope.
I'm hoping that the temptation of hovering over that Buy Now button for books I don't really want but make me think "oh, but maybe it's something interesting, and it's not that expensive, and I could just get it anyway" will lessen, the longer I manage to hold out. I'm not going to feel bad over the ones I know I will buy (and read right away), but I'd really like to stop just spending randomly on books I'll likely never actually get around to.
