Yes, please, but perhaps over in this thread rather than here.

What a splendid idea. I hope none of us has to post there very often. Those who want to avoid temptation should not look at it.

Zoo Station's been on my wishlist for a while. $3.99 in the sale, I ambled over to Kobo which also had it so I used up my last $3 in Borders gift credit to buy it; who knows how much longer that would have been good?

No guilt here.

Well, it's been six days since I last bought an ebook. I'm currently reading my way through my collection of F&SF Magazine and Agatha Christie, along with a few other items.

Hopefully I can get my TBR list below 400 without succumbing to temptation. Unless a really good sale offer comes along...

And we all know how unlikely a really good sale offer coming along is. lol.

Well it has been 1 hr and 6 min since I last bought an ebook.

poohbear_nc · 07-26-2011, 10:19 AM

I just got 2 pre-orders today! [placed before this thread started however - so I can still post here!

]

But, whether due to the overwhelming peer pressure exerted in this thread [

], or I might be getting a tad more selective in what I snap up, I find I am reading new purchases immediately, rather than allowing them to heighten my TBR pile. [do I get a wee pat on the back for this?]

anamardoll · 07-26-2011, 01:22 PM

Huh, I've been doing the same thing -- reading new stuff immediately -- but I think in my case it's because my TBR list is so long that I barely remember what's on the pile anymore.

I had to be VERY careful during the Amazon sale not to pick up anything that I already had from a freebie -- I'd gotten that dragon book that sold so well through a Kobo freebie a month or two ago.

wyndslash · 07-26-2011, 09:05 PM

seeing what other people have bought is tempting me to buy what they bought, lol xP

or i was thinking of getting them from my local bookstore xP

benham · 07-26-2011, 09:07 PM

Anamardoll,

I know what is on mine, just don't remember why.

amward · 07-27-2011, 02:23 AM

I'm feeling very smug because I have joined the Singapore Library and may never have to buy an ebook again... or not for a couple of weeks

pdurrant · 07-27-2011, 05:16 AM

It's now nine days since I bought an ebook, and I've actually been very happy reading my F&SF, Agatha Christie, Grantville Gazette and Young Wizard ebooks.

Today my TBR count has dropped below 420!

I laugh at the pitiful Fictionwise discount offers. I sneer at new releases on Amazon.
