I just happened across the anthology 'Digital Domains', edited by Ellen Datlow, and found it had been reduced on both Amazon US and UK to $1.15 and 68 pence respectively.

"Ellen Datlow, who reliably selects stories both challenging and delicious, was an early adopter of the Internet as a home for science fiction. In this collection, some of the best samples of work published by the now-defunct sites OMNI Online, Event Horizon, and SCIFICTION are brought together. From James P. Blaylock’s “Thirteen Phantasms,” a stylistically classic story of an encounter with the past, to Simon Ings’ disturbing tale of alien colonization, “Russian Vine,” this is a collection of stories to think about long after the reading is over. Unsurprisingly, Maureen McHugh’s tale, “Frankenstein’s Daughter,” brings up some difficult issues, much like Shelley’s original. Carol Emshwiller contributes an odd little piece, “All of Us Can Almost.” If there was any doubt remaining, this collection proves that online venues have contained a remarkable variety of truly stellar fiction, and one hopes that they will continue to do so. --Regina Schroeder "

UPDATE: I am further delighted to inform you that the book does not carry DRM.
