For the month, that's 32 books, $33.44 in total, for $1.05 per book.

A couple of the free ones I already had in paperback (so, off to the used bookstore with those) and the three by Boyd Morrison I could have grabbed for free on his web site ($4.17), but by buying at Amazon, we could all download via Whispernet when we get around to reading them. I paid $3.99 for Summer's Path, which is available free this month. I also purchased Soul Identity twice, but the second copy was only a penny (and was so I could see if there was a difference in the versions: there is not). Quite a few that I would not have purchased, normally, but might read since I have them (most of those Harlequins, for example), but at least a couple of the freebies were on my wish list to purchase later.

Here's the break-down by month, for the year-to-date:

MonthNo. BooksTotal CostPer Book
January59$83.47$1.41
February43$29.97$0.70
March32$33.44$1.05
Totals134$146.88$1.09

Not bad per book (even with those public domain titles tossed in) and definitely enough to keep us occupied for at least a few weeks.
