Well, I'm looking at the May bundle. I already own
House of Steel and
Portal from previous bundles.
Rogue Queen I already have and have read - it was the Phoenix Pick freebie in July 2013.
Freehold I have the first edition of, and the extra foreword or afterword of the second edition doesn't tempt me very much.
So that leaves three books. I definitely want
The Sea Without a Shore.
Treasure Planet I'd rather like. Secret of the Stars would be OK, but I probably wouldn't buy as a separate item, certainly not for $8.99
So I'd probably have bought the May bundle for $6/book, reluctantly. But if I can use coupons at kobo, I can buy the one I really want only, and leave the others, knowing that I could pick them up later if I liked.
Buying at full price, the three would be $28. So I'd only need a 36+% off coupon to better the bundle pricing.
Or one 75% off coupon and a couple of 25% off coupons will save me $2. If I decide to get the Andre Norton at all.
Perhaps I'll get the book I mentioned above instead. There's only $1 difference in their retail prices, and one I really want and one I don't really care about. Hmm… putting it that way it's a no-brainer.
