But I *paid* for it...

Anyway, lesson learned. None of this 'complete the series' business, I'll buy books as I want to read them and not buy ten at once. Times like this I resent that I can't resell an ebook. If someone would pay me the $10, I would happily email them the files and delete my own, but that's not allowed, is it?
No

I only went out on a limb once and bought a bundle of a series, but that was because it was really cheap, and it worked out in the end.

Another time I passed on a bundle of a series (which had good savings) fearing I wouldn't like the books. Of course, I loved them.

Hey, you never know though, maybe one day down the road you'll change your mind and want to try them again?
