Well, I didn't think my spending limits would bite quite so quickly.
Counting my subscriptions, due in later this month, I've already spent just over half my January budget: £12.56 to be exact.
Now, the next Baen Monthly bundle has three books in it that I definitely want to buy. They're non-bundle cost would is $26, the bundle costs $18 (about £12). So that's a 30% discount. Now once they're published, they are couponable at Kobo, but at Kobo (due to exchange rates and VAT) the three books I definitely want would cost £19.40. So I'd need a 38% (say 40%) discount to match the Baen Bundle price. Of course, buying the bundle also gets me two other books that look rather interesting. But then, it's possible that the next Kobo competition could have better odds, and I might end up with three 75% off codes, which would mean the books I wanted cost only £4.85!
I think I've persuaded myself. It's better to wait and hope that I can get the books I want from Kobo with a high discount code, than to buy the bundle and blow the rest of my month's budget before we're even half way through the month!
Whew!
