Also, I really need to check my library more often. Two of the most expensive ebooks I bought last year are borrowable for free, I noticed when I checked their ebook catalogue a few days ago. I even waited months for their prices to drop.

Maybe you are suffering from hoarding withdrawal? As to expensive books, the only ones I've paid more than $8 for are medical based (i.e. diabetes) because they are never discounted until a new edition comes out (and then how useful is that?). Very often though, 3 of us split the cost since once you've read it, you don't really need it after that. This is where the library falls down - they don't have these sorts of books in ebook at all and here, the people that most need it can't read the paper copy!
No bookbuying for me (as best as I can control it) because I'm getting a Voyage on Wed. and will be getting a free month of Kindle Unlimited. I also converted my Audible account into Audible Lite for a year ($10, keep my credits and can access all the sales). My audiobook TBR should drop a lot then for the next year. Yay!
