These books are all backlist titles, but they're being sold by the publisher, not by the author.

Books from traditional publishers actually go on sale for $1.99-$2.99 often...I get notified of sales by many different means...sometimes from here, sometimes from other groups I belong to, and sometimes from eReader IQ.

To answer both of you at the same time, I did say books that are not indie or _backlist_, i.e. the books you are describing. Yes, I'm aware that many authors/publishers have their backlist books on sale.
