I am even ignoring the Kobo coupons. I have so many that I've already bought, from there and Fictionwise, that I have no excuse to buy more. Plus I want to support the libraries more.

Good luck!
There are still a few authors who are still autobuys for me to make such a commitment
. I mean "buy and read on release day" types, not buy and to the TBR. I have been better about buying new-to-me author's complete series this year. So far the only one I've bought without at least reading book one has been Laura Florand's Chocolate series. And I have since started it, so I don't feel so guilty. Of course I still have a gazillion series I bought last year to start. But many of those were with the magic coupon so I don't feel too awful about it. I do need to get back to reading/rereading the Harlequin books I purchased during THAT big sale. I read a bunch of them in 2012, but fell out of the habit last year.
I think the cover view in Calibre helps with that as it's like shopping in your own library. Not sure why, but when I look at my TBR list by covers rather than title I always find something...
