Well, at the half-way point I am slightly over budget, but I have reduced my TBR a little bit.

My commuting reading time is showing up in my stats - currently at 120 books read so far this year, on track for my highest total since I started keeping track in 2010.

But I must keep a tight control over my spending to be in with a chance of making my target of no more than $480 (£320 at a nominal $1.5:£1) spent on ebooks this year.

[EDIT]
It seems I'll end the half year with 122 ebooks read, 205 ebooks bought and $44.55 over budget. Which means I need to aim for $32/month for the rest of the year to get back inside my $480 budget for the whole year.
