Simon & Schuster Price Cuts at Amazon?
Anyone else noticing S&S price drops on Amazon? eReader IQ has emailed me three times in the past 12 hours, with all prices dropping from $12.99 to $8.27.

The Discounted / Price Dropped ebooks thread in customer discussions at Amazon is filling up with posts of price drops on books from Simon & Schuster. Looks like they've come to terms with Amazon as per the settlement agreement.

Interesting, because the titles I received notices on are still showing "This price was set by the publisher" underneath the price.

Three items on my list (Catch 22, The Rum Diary, Fahrenheit 451) dropped 28-36%.
Edit: Just looked at Stephen King, a lot of his Scribner books are now $6.46. Off topic: Anyone else notice Harper Collins rotating their catalog to have a lot of $2.99 books available? |

When I click on the links from eReader.com, I still see the higher prices at Amazon.

Wonder if the 30 day no questions asked return policy will be in effect for S&S e-books?

You caught me skimming and not paying a lot of attention.
Actually what occurred to me was a chain of cafeterias from back in the past that had the best string beans that anyone could make. Probably unhealthy with the bacon, butter and salt put in them. S&S Cafeteria. My wife and I ate dinner (lunch in the South) at an S&S Cafeteria on the first day of our Honeymoon. |

And the string bean recipe/honeymoon nostalgia is related to Simon & Schuster how? (I'm just teasing, I actually don't mind. If you moved everything that's off-topic from every thread, there would be very little on this board!)

Either someone jumped the gun or this was a pricing glitch, since all the prices returned very quickly to where they had been.
