Agreed, which is why I said I hoped it wouldn't encourage stockpiling, for just that reason. It's a very different case from commercial freebies, where if you like that sort of thing you need to get it while you can, which does lead to stockpiling and all the related issues we've mentioned in this thread before.
On a personal note, I've come to confess. After this morning's indiscretion, I've now spent 40% more so far this year than I spent in all of 2017!
The bulk of it was on four books which have been on my wishlist forever without budging in price and deals came along which let me shave a bit off and I figured they'd never get cheaper. But... And my TBR is up slightly, too, after having been in a downward trajectory for the past two years.
If I read the books this year, I'll forgive myself.
