Buy now with 1-click......

[perryluvr]

Lots of good advice!!  I should explain that I'm a new Kindle owner... so I have that 'fever' commonly associated with just getting your kindle.  I do have loads of samples on my Kindle.... and try to knock one sample off the list a day and decide whether I'd like to buy it or take it off my Kindle wish list.  I get any free books that interest me, so I'll never be short of reading material.  It's just so addicting!

I've done my collections as well, I have a 'samples' folder, as well as a 'freebies' folder.  Then I have a few more for my favorite authors.  Those are the ones that are putting my 'one click finger' to the test!  lol

I do think I'm going to try the gift card approach.  With an 'X' amount of money on it each month... at least until I get a hold of my spending habits.  I'm no where near causing real damage to my bank account.... but those clicks add up very quickly!

I know what you mean, Perryluvr-

On accident, I bought two more books  today
Not like I don't have a "virtual stack" of to-read books waiting for me.
I have plenty stored up--not to mention the free samples I haven't looked at yet.

Is there a 12-step program for Kindle-holics?

I have set up my collections with to be read and read as the lead in to my categories. It does make it a great deal easier to not buy something when I look at my to be read categories and see the number of books sitting there.

I download samples and then keep the ones I like ready to get the book when I finish the one I'm on. Having said that I have a book queue waiting for me - heavenly!

This is what I've started doing.  When I'm ready for my next read, I go to the list of samples I've downloaded (usually 10-15 at any one time) and start reading.  If I'm "into" the story by the time I reach then end of the sample, I download the book.  If not, I'm on to the next sample.  Works great!

I have the one click problem myself.  I too have promised myself that until i have read all the books on my kindle i will not buy anymore.  However at times I can't help myself it's too too easy to one click
