Some books in the bundle I would never buy, and using them to offset the cost isn't really playing fair. If I bought the bundle this month, I'd really be buying one book for $18, or maybe two books for $9/ea. That doesn't make sense. 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.

You could compromise and count the books you definitely wanted in the bundle as one each, and all other books in the bundle as one total. So if you only wanted one book in the bundle, you'd count the bundle as 2, and if you only wanted two books in the bundle, you'd count it as 3.
