Once again, the ideal is represented by Baen. Let's say that you want the latest Honor Harrington Book. You buy the webscription for $15, and that gets you The HH hardback-equivalent and five other books. So let's say you paid $5 for the HH and $10 for the others.
Your $5 usually also brings with it full access to the CD that is bundled with the hardback. This CD includes the entire back set of the HH series. That is 15 books for $5.
Even when you don't hit a month with a CD you can do pretty well. Many times, the monthly other books are compilations of two to three books previously published. You pay about $2 for an omnibus edition that contains two or three books.
