Well that's very ****** annoying. I've got gift certificates for the .co.uk site and they've a better selection. Pretty poor of them to let us switch over and then suddenly remove access without warning.

Ditto on the gift certificates. Here's hoping it's a server glitch.

Right I sent them an email enquiring as to the change.

Appreciate it if you post back with the response! If I'd known in advance I'd have bought up a reading pile to last me for the next couple of years.
Plus what happens to my pre-order for "Republic of Thieves"...

Yeah, no bother, they're usually pretty quick getting back to me. Though sometimes by phone which is a tad annoying.

And we're back with the UK offerings. Hopefully was just a server glitch!

nesf · 11-07-2013 12:56AM

Yeah it seems I had been redirected to Amazon.com without realising it by that "Contact Us" link. They've passed on my query to the .co.uk team for them to look into. I should hear something back tomorrow apparently.

Ah but I don't want them to investigate anymore as it's working again and we don't want that changed :-P

I'm extremely unimpressed, it only allows alphanumeric characters for passwords. What kind of bat**** insane webadmin do they have?

TOR is giving away a book containing 151 stories. This was released a while ago and should only be available for another week.

At a rough estimate, based on the Kindle Locations of 53000, I reckon that's it equivalent to a 2800 page book ('Dance of Dragons' was about 19000 and 1000 pages in print) :eek:

Oops. I never managed to click through on the link when you posted it so I didn't realise it was the same thing.

The Black Guard by A.J. Smith is only 99p on Amazon at the moment. Haven't read it yet but it's getting decent reviews.

ixoy · 25-08-2013 10:23PM

Brandon Sanderson's "The Way of Kings" is only £2.50 on amazon.co.uk - a bargain. Haven't finished reading it so far (350 pages in) but it'll definitely be worth the price.

Mark Tapley · 02-11-2013 08:17AM

This book bundle was linked on the storybundle twitter feed http://www.bookbale.com/ includes Joe Haldeman and Heinlein.

For today (23rd) only, a number of Neil Gaiman's books are just £1.49:

Anansi Boys
Neverwhere
Smoke & Mirrors
Stardust
American Gods

I'm probably going to buy them all as I've only 72 books on my "To read" pile

ixoy · 18-01-2014 12:05AM

Brandon Sanderson's "The Way of Kings" is just £1.99 on Amazon. A great buy, especially as book two is out very shortly.

$3.27 (same price basically) on amazon.com for anyone who is registered there rather than .co.uk

OwaynOTT · 20-01-2014 07:28PM

Raising Steam only €3 in tesco. I know it's not an ebook but that's a great price for a hardback.

Thoie · 20-01-2014 08:10PM

And speaking of $3.27, Kate Atkinson's book "Life after Life" is currently $3.27 on .com. Apparently reduced from $27+ (which I don't believe). I've read a few Kate Atkinson's, and have enjoyed them all. This one is £1.99 on .co.uk, and has also won the Whitbread (which is now called Costa - never knew that).

A free anthology of short stories by authors eligible for the John W. Campell award for Best New Author. It's free for a limited time only and clocks in at over 2000 pages.

'A quest for Heros' by Morgan Rice is currently free on Google play for android users.

Saying that i dont know if it is any good but it will pass a few hours if its any way decent.

All of Bradley P. Beaulieu's output are currently just £0.77 a piece on Amazon.co.uk ($1 on the US).
His series is "The Lays of Anuskaya" and I've read the first two of the trilogy. I was very close to reading the third so it's great timing. It's a refreshing fantasy fusing Russian culture with elements of Arabian elementals and is quite unique. Absolute bargain at this price - at the very least people owe themselves a look at the first book.

Or $1.28 if you have a US account. Any book/series of his that you'd recommend? I haven't heard of them before.
