Congratulations!

It's been less than 24 hours since I bought 4 ebooks! (On sale, series fills for stuff I've been reading and recommending recently.)

Congratulations! I have managed to not buy an e-book in a week. Which is a step forward for me.

But, I have a feeling that Books on board is about to tempt me. *whimpers* A lot of the books on my wishlist is less than 5 dollar, and the end of July is packed with releases from authors that are autobuy for me.

Normally going somewere without internet works, but my new Cybook Odessey will arrive next week ( or tomorrow)....

Oh, well done, Paul!

I wish I could say the same, but I got caught by a favourite author/series. And while it was actually my wife who initiated the buy, I can't duck behind that since it's a joint account AND we were both waiting for it to become available on this side of the pond.

That's OK, you're covered under rule 3.

Rule #3 is a life-saver!

It has been 7 days since I purchased my last e-book.

But I keep going hard at those Kindle freebies!

Rule #3 is a weasel rule. It's one thing when it's a book she wants more than I do, but I was the one who had put it on the wish list in the first place, and the only reason she bought it first is that she had just finished reading her previous book and was looking. So I get to feel guilty without the pleasure of buying first. Ah, well, I'll just go buy something at Baen to make up for it.

Only if you're interested in cleaning up & getting straight!

Welcome to the thread! You're among friends. And, more importantly, people who understand what you're going through.

Don't worry about the freebies. You're almost certainly never going to read them, so don't stress about it. Feel free (sorry!) to carry on getting any free ebooks you want to. Just don't add them to your "To Be Read" pile unless you really want to read them, and might have bought them if they weren't already free.

In this thread we've come up with three simple guidelines to help us resist the purchase of too many new ebooks.
  1. Add to wish list rather than buying
  2. Only buy if on special offer and on your wish list
  3. Only exception is most recent in series by favourite authors.

The reason for these rules/guidelines is this: We all already have lots of books we want to read that we've already bought. It's rare for ebooks to increase in price. Therefore, we should not buy new ebooks that we want until they are on special offer.

In this way we make our large TBR lists work for us, by making sure that we only buy ebooks when they are on special offer. We spend less, and slowly work down our TBR lists.

I just had my TBR bumped up by several books because the July Baen eBook Bundle (aka, Webscriptions) released. Not only were there several books in there I wanted to read, they triggered further reading out of my collection. Darn, losing ground on that goal. But this was a bundle I bought months ago.
