The five volume Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy is available at Kobo UK for £11.52, and the current coupon code BookRiot50 will take that down to £5.76 for the omnibus. Pretty good value! If I didn't have it already from the late lamented Fictionwise, I'd probably be getting it myself.

It's DRM-free as well, for people for whom that makes a difference. |

Personally, the DRM status is highly relevant. Sure I could have done without knowing that this replaces a boxed set, but it's worth reading to see when I can support products unencumbered by DRM. Especially for books sold by Kobo, who seem to have a severe aversion to telling customers anything pertinent, like what format the book is in.

Year Zero: A Novel
by Rob Reid is $0.99 at Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Year-Zero-Nove...1145145&sr=8-2 Kobo http://store.kobobooks.com/en-US/ebook/year-zero Below is the blurb: Low-level entertainment lawyer Nick Carter thinks it’s a prank, not an alien encounter, when a redheaded mullah and a curvaceous nun show up at his office. But Frampton and Carly are highly advanced (if bumbling) extraterrestrials. The entire cosmos, they tell him, has been hopelessly hooked on American pop songs ever since “Year Zero” (1977 to us), resulting in the biggest copyright violation since the Big Bang and bankrupting the whole universe. Nick has just been tapped to clean up this mess before things get ugly. Thankfully, this unlikely galaxy-hopping hero does know a thing or two about copyright law. Now, with Carly and Frampton as his guides, Nick has forty-eight hours to save humanity—while hoping to wow the hot girl who lives down the hall from him. |
