$1 ebook - Use of Weapons by Iain Banks
Sony are now selling the next $1 ebook Use Of Weapons by Iain M Banks.
Click on the banner on the main page. It doesn't appear to be up at diesel or books on board yet. Non-US people may have trouble buying it because of the recent hachette debacle |

The other sites aren't updated yet.
But I have a complaint about BoB: why the hell is the book 1$ in all formats except mobipocket?! The mobi version is at full price! |

If BoB really cared, they would send a second letter and apologize for the poorly-worded and insulting email they sent out, and try to once again gain the suport they lost with those customers. Let me put it to you this way: It's called having manners and communicating with someone with grace and style. I've seen an absence of this quality demonstrated in quite a number of differing venues lately. Don |

Strangely enough, Way of the Shadows is still $1 too, so if you haven't gotten it yet, now is the time.

OH NO!!! Fictionwise has it for $1 but can't download due to geographical restrictions first time I see this
I could change country buy it and change back but could it affect my current and future purchases? Last edited by Gibbo; 02-01-2009 at 03:37 PM. |

http://www.onedollarorbit.com/ the January book offered multiple outlets, including Sony, and Kindle story. Now it has the Banks book, but the select button says Sony and only Sony! This ins spite of this blurb from Orbit: "We've partnered with the top ebook vendors to offer readers in the USA an ebook a month for just $1." Vendors is plural! How come no Kindle for this one? |

A number of people took issue with the tone of the email they received from Bob regarding change in Rewards Dollars. From this thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37522 Don |
