Those prices really are insane, though. It seems that later volumes never made it to MMPB, but I think the latest of those dates from at least five years ago. (EDIT: Nope, the last one was 2010...so only three years ago - and I don't see it on Kobo's list!) Time for a markdown! |
I saw those two same title/different prices earlier so I googled the isbns and it turns out the cheaper one is just the single original ebook (SCE #29 Aftermath) shown with the omnibus cover instead of the original; Amazon show the correct cover. I just can't get over how they've doubled the prices on the individual ebooks since their release date; it's not like printing prices etc going up on paper books.
Thanks for the Memory Alpha link,
I forgot about checking there, I was using a Wikipedia link to figure out which ones I needed. I already had the individual SCE books from #50 on, purchased from 12/07 forward when I got my first reader (Sony 505) as a Christmas gift. I just need to get books 7-9 (those are the ones I'm hoping to get 60% or higher coupons for
) then I'll start splitting them open in calibre and adding the original individual covers and titling 'em all starting with SCE & book number so they all organize nicely by title.
Did you happen to see where one of the SCE books titles misspells 'Corps' as 'Core'?
