It's $3.44 for me on Kindle (maybe because I'm from Europe), so I bought it from Smashwords instead. Not that I'm cheap but I wonder how much of that money actually ends up in the author's hands. Amazon is already making more than enough money off me as it is...
For Smashwords I had to dig out Opera to buy it since their site is completely broken for me in Linux Firefox for some reason. Hope the book itself won't give me as much trouble haha!
I just finished reading Mistborn the other day and the story sounds similar (evil immortal king vs slave girl yay) so I'm really looking forward to it.
EDIT:
Not my day.

First page looks like the one in the screenshot. Somehow the image and text is intermingled on the same page. Could be the fault of the Device, I guess, but it's the first time it ever happened.
EDIT2:
Problem solved, it was the software (AdobeViewer). No problems what so ever using fbreader180. Sorry to have bothered you
