Even my normal diet of MM Romance titles are now hovering anywhere from £5.28 to £6.45 a new release, unless it's a book I desperately want I'm waiting for price reductions. I used to regularly spread upwards of £50 a month on ebooks but that has to stop as I'm being made redundant. I have a pile of books to keep me going for years.
Here's what you do. You go to Kobo for a trip to India. You buy Sleepers Castle there. You use the code 20anniversary to get a discount. The the price is about £6.23 not including any out of country credit card charges which will still be cheaper than £9.99.
