Direct eBooks not a deal, no freebie and just plain silly
I just received email from Direct eBooks and for the prices are a lot silly. Three eBooks mentioned in the email. Two are silly priced at $14 and $26.95 and the third is priced at $9.95 and is PDF.

So either I pay too much for authors I've never heard of before or I buy in a format I don't want. What gives?


Enchantment by Guy Kawasaki is shown in the email to cost $9.39. Go to the site and it's $26.95.

The Crime Writer by Gregg Hurwitz is $14.00 both in the email and online.

Black Stump Ridge by John Manning and Forrest Hedrick is said to be $29.95 in the email but online it's only $9.99. That's not bad. But, it's only PDF. That is bad.

So I'm getting email for books from authors I don't know with prices and/or formats I won't pay/don't want. Why is direct eBooks doing this? if they are going to send email, make the offers attractive.
