Perhaps you should have just got the new release with the 50% rebate, and waited for more offers to get the remaining three books to get the free book. Then you'd have (eventually) ended up with five book you really wanted, instead of one that you really wanted, and four that were OK.
However, if the total cost was less than the new release even with 50% rebate, then it was the right thing to do.

Unfortunately, it was only that specific book that the 50% rebate applied to. It was one I was definitely going to buy regardless, but as the rebate only applied for a limited period I bought it straight away. (Otherwise I would have held off as I am still well over budget due to that 90% Kobo code.)
I could have then just paid the full amount for the book I wanted to buy and read next, but I thought it better to buy 2 very inexpensive books from my wishlist that are also part of a series I am reading and that I would have bought anway (again, it wouldn't have been so soon, I concede) and that way I got the expensive book for free.
I think in the end, I got the four books for less than what it would have cost for two at the full price (which otherwise I would have paid as I want to read them very soon).
