Yup, this ebook pricing is unaffordable! It's impossible to find discounts any longer, because publishers don't discount.....

Edited- thanks to BN Free Fridays, now 17 books.
No one said you cannot buy discounted books. But most often, they are geo restricted.

In the main, new release ebooks, ie next in a series . are full price, comparable to a hardcover. RM Meluch's next book in the Merrimack series is a case in point there, at $14.99. Each new ebook release of the Starfist series retailed for $32.99.

Discounts will always be available and ' take advantage of them if I can. BUT, I liken that to heavily discounted remainder piles outside a brick and tile bookshop.
