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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 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, Registered Users 2 Posts: 945 ✭✭✭swampy353


    got it now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 469 ✭✭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, Registered Users 2 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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 299 ✭✭jrd


    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, Registered Users 2 Posts: 831 ✭✭✭daingeanrob


    thanks op. just purchased there..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 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, Registered Users 2 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, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,673 ✭✭✭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, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,506 ✭✭✭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, Registered Users 2 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:

    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


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,402 ✭✭✭Tinie


    Im getting this on the US site when I go to buy it :confused:


    Digital List Price: $13.11 What's this?
    Kindle Price: $9.89 includes free international wireless delivery via Amazon Whispernet
    You Save: $3.22 (25%)



    Any ideas?

    You have to be signed into amazon.com not .co.uk to get kindle books to Ireland other than that I'm snookered, sorry :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,444 ✭✭✭fergiesfolly


    Thanks op. For those interested, a few more titles in the QI range that are also reduced to pennies


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,908 ✭✭✭Cazale


    I follow QI on twitter and they tweeted this the other day. Its not a misprice.

    Which ones are those? Not seeing any other cheap QI books on my searches.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 397 ✭✭Carlosthejakal
