However, I slant my purchases to the most pages per bucks I pay which excludes the short eBooks and the expensive ones.

I don't know if it would interest you, but I think Jeffry Hepple's books are in Prime-- they are fictionalized history books (meaning the history is accurate, but he writes them with what he supposes they might have said or felt). I like that kind of history (and generally it's the only way I'll read it). He's done mostly the Civil war stuff and some much longer works that I haven't looked into. I am pretty sure his books are in prime (he also has children's books which has nothing to do with his history ones.)

I don't read a lot of history, but I enjoy them when they are "brought alive" in this manner.
