    Same here from .com. Thanks OP, great price!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,670 ✭✭✭Rascasse


    Don't they delete the book and refund you if it's a misprice? I can't imagine this is meant to be so cheap as it was only released 3 weeks ago.

    I'm tempted, but not if its going to disappear in a few hours.


  • Registered Users Posts: 932 ✭✭✭swampy353


    got it now


  • Registered Users Posts: 461 ✭✭Hugo_Whoriskey


    Thanks Op, got it on the. Com site just now, still discounted for me

    Never thought of that, I just assumed it was a black friday sale item

    I'm in the UK for Erasmus, will they accept an Irish Debit Card if they use my address here?


  • Registered Users Posts: 63 ✭✭Nortcider


    Got it as well for $0.39. Thanks OP.
    Started reading a bit of it. Quite interesting. It'll pass a couple of hours when I'm bored.

    Can they only delete it if your connected wirelessly / over 3g?

    If so I won't be reconnecting until I've read it

    Add the book to Calibre, convert format to whatever and it should be yours forever, no matter what Amazon do.

    The other qi books seem to have about 20cents knocked off the price. So not too sure if it was meant to be something similar with this.

    You can use the .co.uk site if you have a UK delivery address recorded with Amazon. I use my Irish visa card with a UK delivery address and have had no problems buying kindle books from there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 827 ✭✭✭daingeanrob


    thanks op. just purchased there..


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,670 ✭✭✭Rascasse


    I bought it too in the end. As suggested I converted it with calibre first (after fixing the drm, which was a pain) so it won't disappear if it is a misprice.

    Thanks op. Worth the 20p - definitely not a tenner!


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,321 ✭✭✭Jackobyte


    Just grabbed this for 20p. Have a BT11AA address linked with the account so could use the UK site. Great spot OP.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,661 ✭✭✭Zimmerframe


    39 cents Thanks OP.

    I doubt they would go and delete stuff remotely again as that caused them no end of grief when they did it with a version of 1984.

    Got it yesterday for 20p. :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,490 ✭✭✭dowtchaboy


    Got it from .com site. Thanks OP.
    It's amusing - but I would feel totally cheated if I had paid anything like full price.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,934 ✭✭✭Dotcomdolly


    Got it from .co.uk site, thanks OP.

    I have the BT11AA address on my account too, used to be able to use the UK site for Kindle downloads but now it's telling me I can't, though my country setting is still set to UK! :rolleyes:

    Unsurprisingly.

    It may actually have been nortcider's pun!

    This is now 22 in the Amazon bestsellers list and 1 in the Kindle bestsellers. If they haven't realised yet they never will.

    Managed to get this at last. Had kept telling me it was unavailable. Changed invoice address to the parcel motel address I use last night, and it let me buy it today! :D
