It's getting towards time for thinking about my goals for next year.
I re-calculated all my book purchases from dollars into Sterling at the start of this year (or was it last year?). And since I also have notes on when I bought everything, I thought it might be instructive to see how much I 'usually' spend, and compare it with this year.
2002 £147.87
2003 £399.94
2004 £253.02
2005 £497.34
2006 £279.14
2007 £376.88
2008 £1028.60 (DRM removal tools become available)
2009 £579.35
2010 £164.21
2011 £349.49
2012 £235.88
2013 £482.57
2014 £317.23
2015 (anticipated) £300
Hmm... an average of just under £400/year. But since I'm clearly still spending too much on ebooks (given that my TBR has grown this year so far), I think I must give myself a tighter budget.
Perhaps a very tight budget. Could I manage £15/month? I think it might be worth a go, even though I've only managed that twice, and one of those was the very start of my ebook buying.
Let's go for it! £2015: £15/month maximum (averaged)
