I had no idea at the time when I pre ordered " Air Raid Killer" this was months ago, that it was going to be a free selection on Kindle First as well. I wonder since they knew I was a Prime member that they put the book out for free way before it showed up for the April selection ? Either way I'm happy with the other book I selected, but it was confusing. I'm still pre ordered for" Air Raid Killer" but it's not free anymore.  |
Sounds like their low price guarantee kicking in. Since you'd pre-ordered it, and you could chose it as your Kindle First pick this month, it dropped to free until you picked another book. Once you did pick another, the price changed to $4.99 because that's what they charge you for buying additional Kindle First selections. If the price was listed higher than $4.99 when you pre-ordered, you ended up saving money from this.
My guess is that if you hadn't picked a book this month, they would have considered your pre-order as picking
Air Raid Killer and given it to you for free anyway.
