It was part of today's Daily Deal, which I look at pretty much every day. So I saw it early this morning. eRiq alerts definitely run slow sometimes, and not at others, but I'm still hugely greatful for them. It can be really easy to see this when, for example, Kindle UK does one of their "Big Deals", where they put a bunch of titles by the same author on sale at the same time. And if I have that author on my eRiq list, the notices for the different books will come in anywhere from right away to many hours later.

I'm sure somebody on here can explain it better, but I assume it has something to do with how eRiq queries the prices ???? I assume they are not getting any sort of push notification from Amazon ??? I am clearly out of my expertise on the way it happens, I just know it happens !!!

I should also add that over the years I have purchased two copies of the first book in this series and Amazon currently doesn't recognize either one. Your warning about duplicates is right on the money.
