OTOH, if I only consider the books I would definitely have bought, I'm not reflecting the very real probability that I might well find a new author in one.

Personally, I would allocate the cost to the book(s) that caused me to purchase the bundle and consider everything else a freebie. Even if one of the "freebies" ends up being good, I still didn't spend the money for that book, I spent it to get the one(s) I knew I wanted.
