Thanks for the heads-up regarding the Angry Robot and Weightless Books sales.
I think I'll just limit my AR purchases to the 2011 Ditmar Award books ,which are already 1/2 off and the coupon stacks on top, and maybe an omnibus. I figure Angry Robot's given out freebies in the past and a few bucks to try out their award-nominees is well spent.
The other stuff which looked interesting is slated for upcoming omnibus, or it's by authors I'm unfamiliar with and I don't have time to read all the samples and do comparison pricing/availability checks in the hour before the 50% presumably expires, so I'll just put on a wishlist to try later and hope they have another such sale in the future (forum search says they did last year).
I'm a bit annoyed at Small Beer Press, who apparently run Weightless, as it seems they've yanked their entire catalogue from Fictionwise, screwing up my wishlist, which always makes me paranoid.
But it turns out they have Subterranean Press books which are normally not available to Canadians via the usual stores, and if it turns out they're saleable to my region, then it's a sweet deal and more than makes up for SP's disappearance from the Baen store last year.
And they've a new collection of Nancy Kress stories. Just wish they offered multi-format bundles instead of making you pick a format, which is silly.
