I'm coming up on the end of two years with a self-imposed book buying ban. That means I only buy books using gift card money and I keep an active wishlist at Amazon for friends and family who want to send a gift book. I also have not cancelled my Audible subscription, but I will be doing so at the end of the year. More and more I'm using the library instead of buying audio books. When I bought books on CD, I would donate them to the library after I had listened. With the Audible books, I'm just stuck with them and I probably would *never* listen to one a second time.
For Christmas, I'm asking for a Kindle Unlimited subscription. Although I'm finding **PLENTY** of books to read in the library, there are lots of Kindle books that just don't get picked up by the library and some of these are very appealing to me. I figure that if I read 2 or more KU books each month, then I've used the $9.99 very wisely. I'm also going to remove the buying ban when it comes to Baen books. I've missed being able to take advantage of the monthly bundles. I probably won't get every one, but I'll pick up the ones which contain books by my favorite authors.
