Yes, this means I made over 50 orders from Amazon in the past month, costing £450. Mostly presents and things I would have bought anyway in the next couple of months. Hmm... 1/3 back for ebooks. Not too bad at all.
But it does mean that I'm going to have a massive spending spree, and then spend nothing for the rest of the year. An interesting challenge! Clearly my average book cost is going to go up, since I won't be able to wait very long for bargains. Equally clearly, my 'want to read it now' ratio is going to be quite high - lots of books that I've been waiting for the price to drop when the paperback comes out, or they go on special offer, are now in my sights!
Although I shall probably resist the Dumarest books. I still think they're overpriced if buying them all. But I shall certainly start working on a list....

I would think that eBook credits for buying something that you would have bought anyway would not count against your book buying budget for 2016. Much the same way free books do not count when tallying your eBook buying in the eBook Buying Addicts' Support Thread.
