Fictionwise's anniversary is coming up in May, and that's probably when we'll get a 60%.

It looks like there's nothing in the weekly new releases that I particularly want to get/try before then, but there may be some sufficiently interesting things added on Monday.

And I notice that Marion Zimmer Bradley & Paul Edwin Zimmer's Hunters of the Red Moon, once yanked for KDP Select exclusivity on Amazon, is back as a new release this week and the FW system considers it a newly published book that I should re-buy, rather than an update to my existing purchased book.

But at least I can still re-download my old, original copy from FW and hopefully the 2 extra words listed as being the difference between the old word count and the new one aren't too significant, though I guess I'll be fixing any lingering typos myself instead of benefitting from the "removed from distribution elsewhere so we can fix errors in the meantime" disappearance.

Oh well, I guess this teaches me not to buy new things that are likely to be yanked for KDP and wait to see if they return and/or get yanked again before committing my money to a reasonably "final" fixed version, which will eventually also translate to my time if I have to DIY for that last bit.

I'm kind of tempted to start a thread in the Workshop for DIY error-fixing of backlist e-books, with what/where/what should be where and checks against the paper version, because it's starting to look like even if the author/publisher bothers to fix things, the reader may not be able to avail oneself of the fixes, if one is unfortunate enough to be a prior purchaser of a previous version.
