I tried following the steps that I posted, and got the same result that you did. They changed the website since I made my post.
I was interested, myself, in finding out how to get the discounted books now. I had wanted to order some of the books, too, but hadn't "gotten around to it."
Anyway, after quite a bit of work I hadn't been able to find another webpage where I could get what I described in my initial post. I was almost ready to give up and concede defeat, but then I finally found this webpage where we can do what we want to do:
http://www.harpercollins.com/search-...rder=relevance. And, more good news: instead of 1,860 ebooks, there are now 1,872! Woo hoo!
What you (can) do then is self-explanatory, but the instructions in my initial post are, I think, still accurate from this point on:
"The first results are pre-order only, but then you get into the ones that are available immediately. The books are priced at $0.99, $1.99, and maybe other prices below $2.00. These all look to be special prices, lower than what HarperCollins will be selling them for later. You will also see some scattered free books, but the first four, at least, are all samplers.
If you are thinking, "yes, but I don't want to have the use the [HarperCollins] Bluefire reader or deal with conversion issues," I've got good news. If you click on one of the "pre-order" or buy now" buttons, as the case may be, you will go to a page where you will see a link (under the "pre-order; add to cart" button" or the "buy now" button, as the case may be) [in blue in small letters] which says "view more retailers." If you click on that link, you will go to a page that gives a list of retailers, where you can buy or get free, as the case may be, the ebook. And, the ebook will be in the format in which that retailer sells its ebooks (e.g., Amazon will be in Kindle/mobi) [,you don't have to use the Bluefire reader,] and [you will get the] same price that HarperCollins has them!"
Have fun. I know that I will!
