Well done! I've found it soon became second nature to update my list after finishing a book.
I finished the first quarter of the year having read 63 books, and I removed 119 items from my TBR pile (because two of the books were calibre-made collections of short stories from Fictionwise).
Unfortunately, I also bought 144 books for a total of $188.25, going $68.25 over budget.
But, provided there aren't any more amazing kickstarter offers, or 90% off multi-use coupons, or too-goo-to-miss Amazon offers, I expect to make it out of April only adding a hand full or fewer books to my list. I only have one subscription item coming in this month, and I'm not buying the Baen Monthly bundle this month (since Baen books have now become available, and couponable, at Kobo, and I'm only really interested on one of the books in this month's bundle).
If I'm very frugal for the next nine months, I should still make my goal of not spending more than $480 on ebooks this year.
