I've usually been counting omnibuses/bundles as separate books (for a more accurate calculation of average price per book as well as to keep count of what I've read and what not - they're all omnibuses of novels), but with the Kobo 90% off spending spree, for the purposes of my challenge, I'm tempted to consider one omnibus = one ebook bought, because otherwise I'm hopelessly lost already...
I used the coupon mainly to convert Ents to electrons, and there are a few cases where that meant buying omnibus versions of single books I already had. I think I'll wind up separating those "back" into individual books, so I can just switch editions in Goodreads. However, there were a few cases where I picked up individual short stories because Kobo didn't carry the collected versions; I'll probably do the reverse for those, building the collections from the pieces to wind up with more substantial volumes.

(Speaking of short stories, I really don't get self-pub authors who want to charge three bucks each for short stories of about 5K words. That's what, a buck a page? Outrageous!)
