* This one was via Mobilereference and is now missing from the Kindle store, although the paperback is still available.

For the month, that's 32 books, $19.94 in total, for $0.62 per book. Under budget by a mile, but I'll make up for it later in the year, I'm sure.

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

For the month, that's 37 books, $40.39 in total, for $1.09 per book. Under budget and a very low per book cost. Two of the books were repurchases of books with bad formatting, so Amazon gave me a credit for the originals (Clutter Diet and Dune), which if purchased at full price would have bumped the total up to $52.37 and $1.42 per book. At least a couple of these are currently unavailable for purchase, due to the fallout from the 1984 book (Amazon has pulled all MobileReference books and is checking copyrights, it seems).

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

Monthly Kindle Book Budget: May

Quite a few free reads last month (some of which I would not have purchased, otherwise, although now and then one of the free reads is one I have on my Wish List). Several books have gone up in price since I purchased them and I've started noticing that some of the books purchased this year have disappeared from the Kindle store entirely (Summer's Path by Scott Blum and all of Boyd Morrison's books, for example).

Monthly Kindle Book Budget: April

It's been a slow month for buying books here, what with the large to-be-read stack already on my Kindle. I did get all the free books for the month and a very few others, but overall stayed well under the Kindle budget for the month.

April

Holy Bible, GOD'S WORD Translation (GW) by Baker Publishing Group $0.00

The Bounty: The Malloy Family Book 1 by Beth Williamson $0.00
The Alchemyst by Michael Scott $0.00

For the month, that's 22 books, $13.11 in total, for $0.60 per book. Sure, it includes several business chapters that are not real books, but I've left off several titles I got for free from other sources. 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
April22$13.11$0.60
Totals156$159.99$1.03

If you add in the cost of the Kindle itself, that's about $3.33 per book. Of course, we have more than one Kindle, where with paperbacks we'd be able to pass them around, but at double or more the cost per book. We also have roughly 80 pounds less paper taking up room on the shelves (estimating 8 oz per book - a bit high for paperback, low for hardbacks). We might not have purchased the exact same books, of course, but these calculations also leave out all the classics and other free books we have to read on the Kindle (such as the two recent John Hart novels).

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.

Monthly Kindle Book Budget: January

I thought some of you might be interested in my Kindle book budget (or purchase list, since budget doesn't really fit) each month. These are the titles and prices for those I purchased last month. I do share a Kindle account with my husband and parents, so sometimes their purchases are reflected in the mix (and purchases outside of the Kindle are ignored, as I don't seem to be able to resist those $3 hardbacks when they have megasales down at Borders now and then, especially when they fill in series that I am reading on the Kindle and the Kindle price for the same book is often in the $6 to $10 range). Since I've started this late in the year, I'll start with January thru March, with a total and average per book each month and for the first quarter/year-to-date.

For the month, that's 59 books, $83.47 in total, for $1.41 per book, but there were a number of public domain books that we downloaded in January, which we could have found free elsewhere. Two books consumed nearly 1/4 of the total amount spent, at $9.99 each (one of which is no longer available), while the others were all under $5, almost all of which are now over $5 and including at least two that now are selling for $9.99.

WOW! Looking at this list, it's no wonder I seem to have too many books in my TBR list on the Kindle. Excuse me while I go read .... continued tomorrow!
