Under $3 I'd be buying the lot. At $14/$15 I won't buy. |

I bought almost all of them a while back during one of these birthday sales, and have read most of the ones I bought then. But there were still a few I had missed somehow. At $2.99 each, though, it was a no brainer to fill out the collection. I read all of these in the past, in DT format, but having them now on my Kindle is a pleasure of both reading and anticipation. |

I have all the Heyers in paper, some even in ancient hardback, purchased from library sales. I've also got them all in eformat, and those are what I read. I don't want to risk damaging my paper copies!

I'll just wait until the UK publisher comes to their senses, and offers a complete backlist bundle for a reasonable price. [EDIT: And to those of you here who already have all her books in paperback. Would you buy her complete backlist as a bundle of ebooks for, say, $99? I suspect that many of you would.] Last edited by pdurrant; 08-15-2012 at 03:32 PM. |

If I hadn't already been collecting them, yes, I would. Since I already have them ...... and since I'm finding that reading TOO many romances makes me bemoan the lack thereof in real life ..... no, I don't think I'd buy them again.

Yep, that was my final slide into relapse. I bought 7 for $2.99 each at Amazon before discovering the Books on Board sale. I'm leaving on a 2-3 month road trip next week, sans computer, so that's my rationalization.

This does, of course, mean that I am unlikely to meet my target of under 300 ebooks on my TBR list by the end of 2012. But they were (literally) on my wishlist at BooksOnBoard, and they were on special offer.

Great support group, but a bit of enabling going on. Pdurrant now owns more Heyers than I and I'm thinking I need to get the rest while they're cheap. Must take deep breaths...

Stating that there is a booksale somewhere in this thread is akin to throwing a bottle of rye into an AA meeting.

On the other hand, being able to take advantage of a genuine sale like the Georgette Heyer one at BooksOnBoard is one of the reasons for keeping a tight rein on spending when there isn't a sale on. Admittedly, I've now almost bought more books this month than in the rest of the year in total (49 to 54). But my average ebook cost for the year is $2.17, and that's for 103 books that I really wanted to read. That's really rather good. And I might have bought the Heyers when they weren't on sale, without this thread. |
