I regret to report that I have just bought my 250th ebook of the year. And counting the two subscriptions still to come in for December (Analog and Asimov's), I have now spent £385 on ebooks this year, £145 over my target of £240.
I will clearly have to do much better next year. And for the rest of this year. But quite how I'll do that is another matter.
The really dreadful thing is how few of those purchases I regret.
