First, I'm in Canada, so I was able to score several free.
Then, Amazon has
The Watersplash as a $6.99 one now, and I got it as a monthly special for $1.99 a while back. Also, there's currently a questionable collection on Amazon US that appears to include those that are available in Canada from Project Gutenberg repackaged and being sold in the US for $5.80.
And, as pointed out, they are couponable at Kobo.
All in all, I have a half dozen or so, and expect to get some more when a good coupon comes around. Most of the legitimate ones on Amazon are selling for $6.59-$6.99 right now. Or there may be more made available on PG Canada. IAC, I enjoy them.
ETA: I notice in perusing the PG Canada site that there are a bunch of Wentworth books in the process of being completed, but not yet posted to the official PG Canada site, still on the Faded Page site. So it looks good for those of us in Canada, and other life+50 countries such as Australia.
