Guys, never subscribe to bookriot_feed.

Your kindle will explode while your pocketbook shrinks.

They're currently offering deep discounts on all sorts of books which, thankfully, I cannot buy because I've already read, including but not limited to: The Invisible Library, Artemus Fowl, Throne of the Crescent Moon, The Inheritance Trilogy....

Don't blame me for your lack of willpower! I tried to warn you!

[conuly]

I fail to see how this is my fault :D

[jessie_c]

All Spamazon. Good, I'm safe :P

[conuly]

Yes, thankfully they never have deals for other ebook platforms, though they do have frequent raffles for gift cards and occasionally books.

....
I can't resist.

Oh, yay, Invisible Library! *already owns it*

Masked City is a decent ebook price, too, really.

[archangelbeth]

But iBooks might have the same deal on for Invisible Library... O;>

(I confess: author is a friend of mine and I like the book. Must shill!)

Thankfully for my wallet, I'm a Linux user. No Kindle app that I can see.

[conuly]

I love the hell out of that book, and will shill it everywhere.

[conuly]

Dodged a bullet.

Edit: Though you *could* open the books in Kindle Cloud Reader, which I'm pretty sure doesn't require the app.

[archangelbeth]

I might know the author's Dreamwidth account, if you're interested... O;> (You may already know it, though.)

I don't want to be the only sucker.

[conuly]

I may, I may not. I wouldn't bet on it, honestly :)

[archangelbeth]

I'll DM ya on Dreamwidth tomorrow evening, then! Gotta get to bed...

o/~ Lalala I can't hear you! o/~

[conuly]

Oh. You should turn up your speakers.

I'm afraid I just noticed that although this site only links to Amazon, other booksellers sometimes discount their ebooks to match.

[fred_mouse]

Sadly, not where I am :( ($13)

[archangelbeth]

For an ebook? Gah! I thought the US price was only 11.99 when not on sale! (Annoying thing about iBooks is that I cannot see the price after having bought the book -- I can only go by the ones I haven't bought yet, because they haven't had a sale...)

Quick, move to England; it's still on sale for 99 pence there, apparently. O:(

[fred_mouse]

Yeah. Otherwise known as the Australia tax. I tried to get a Connie Willis one a while back, and it was more expensive as an ebook than it would have been to get the paperback ($26 v $20).

[archangelbeth]

BOO!

...okay, FINE. I am going to go make sure all my Kindle books/short stories are a closer match to their US price rather than just going with the "whatever the going exchange rate was when I put them up" result. Huzzah the indie author ability and all that. -_-

Edit: Can't affect any of the other locations except I think I have "eat the VAT" selected at Smashwords. But I can affect Kindle! About halfway done, gotta get the kid food, will finish later. "Changes may take up to 72 hours to take effect."

Edit2: I am OK-FINE not at you, but at the whole ".au tax" thing, which is preventing people from enjoying a good book. OKAY FINE I WILL DO MY TINY BEST stupid added fees grumble.
