I'm annoyed that I've missed the Jan 2013 bundle. I'll have to keep a closer eye on release dates from now on. Just bought the Feb/Mar bundles to make sure I don't miss them, plus the two books I wanted from the Jan bundle (the Andre Norton and Steve White). Last edited by HarryT; 12-20-2012 at 12:32 PM. |

In the US many contracts are ended/implemented in Dec for tax purposes-so it makes sense that Dec is always an 'active' month. This year it turns out to be downwardly active. It's a shame about the prices rising but I'm more concerned about them adding DRM. I've bought a lot of Baen books in either pback or as ebooks-and most of the ebooks I've bought from their site simply because they don't seem to like DRM any more than I do. OTOH I've also found their site confusing. Particularly since I could find different books depending on how I accessed them. I suspect their approach (sort of a "give the customer a break") attracted few marketing professionals-and their site organization showed it.

They aren't adding DRM to anything.

Misunderstanding. I'm concerned that Amazon will add it.

The publisher has to specify whether or not the book has DRM. There is no "default" (at least not for the Kindle Digital Publishing programme - I don't know if there are different arrangements in place for larger publishers.)

It looks like Baen's books are up at Amazon.co.uk.
£4.45 for those at $6.99 at baenebooks.com £6.43 for those at $9.99 at baenebooks.com Counting the 3% VAT, that's an exchange rate of about $1.6:£1 |

IIRC when Tor went no-DRM, Amazon had a problem changing over, and the 1st book supposed to be released without DRM (Scalzi's _Redshirts_) actually had it on. Tor immediately sent everyone with a receipt a DRM-free book by email, if we complained, and Amazon did eventually replace the file with a DRM-free one.

That's true for small publishers using KDP. It's not the same system for big publishers who don't use KDP.
