Damm ! I bought book from sony this morning. Before reading this of course..

[ScalyFreak]

Sweet! Thank you!

EDIT: I think it would probably have been more sweet if the code had actually applied to any of the books on my wishlist... stupid agency prices.

[graycyn]

Thank you! I got a book I've been wanting bad, Elizabeth Castro's Epub Straight to the Point. $6.60 with the discount!

[Blossom]

When the thread title says "one ebook" they don't actually mean one ebook per customer. They mean, quite literally "there's only one ebook on the Sony Store that this coupon actually applies to". >.<

Ok using one of the other titles that people posted here I was able to confirm that my coupon will actually work. Now it's merely a matter of finding a book. What a hassle.

I got 'Long, Dry Summer' by Scott Orlando. A complete book in a poke - hope it's good!

FWI - You need to put the code in capital letters as apesmom has it.

I got Occultation by Laird Barron, horror short stories, for $3.99.

Laird Barron returns with his second collection, Occultation. pitting ordinary men and women against a carnivorous, chaotic cosmos, Occultation’s eight tales of terror (two never before published) include the Theodore sturgeon and Shirley Jackson award-nominated story “The Forest” and Shirley Jackson award nominee “The Lagerstatte.” Featuring an introduction by Michael Shea, Occultation brings more of the spine-chillingly sublime cosmic horror Laird Barron’s fans have come to expect.

Laird Barron burst upon the fantasy and horror genre in 2000 with his story "Hour of the Cyclops." Since then his fiction has been among the most universally acclaimed work in the field. He has been favorably compared to Thomas Ligotti and Kelly Link. The title story of this collection, a devilishly ironic riff on H. P. Lovecraft's "Pickman's model" was nominated for a World Fantasy Award, while "Probiscus" was nominated for an International Horror Guild award and reprinted in The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror 19. In addition to his previously published work, this collection contains an original story.

Other suggestions for horror fans:

Laird Barron's first book of short stories also available for $3.99:

The Imago Sequence

The title story of this collection - a devilishly ironic riff on H. P. Lovecraft's "Pickman's model" - was nominated for a World Fantasy Award, while "Probiscus" was nominated for an International Horror Guild award and reprinted in The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror 19. In addition to his previously published work, this collection contains an original story.

Elsewhere by William Peter Blatty for $2.37.

This incredible haunted house novel from William Peter Blatty, the legendary author of The Exorcist, is disturbing, unsettling, chilling, and laced with a nasty streak of dark humor. Elsewhere is a must-have for all fans of dark fiction and sure to become a time-honored classic in the genre.

Loss of Separation by Conrad Williams for $3.15.

FLIGHT Z IS READY TO DEPART...Pilot Paul Roan is in command of a Boeing 777 involved in a near miss. Nerves shot, he opts for a new life running a B&B in a coastal village with his girlfriend, Tamara. Not long after they arrive, Paul is involved in a serious accident. Emerging six months later from a coma, Paul discovers that Tamara is gone and a child killer is haunting the beaches. The villagers, appalled by Paul's cheating of death, treat him as a sin-eater. They bring him items to dispose of, secrets far too awful to deal with themselves. At least he has local nurse, Ruth, to look after him. And Amy, a damaged soul with a special gift. She befriends Paul and together they unearth clues that might explain the shocking history of the village, and suggest the murders are anything but. Meanwhile, Paul begins to suspect there is more to Tamara's disappearance than meets the eye...

Suspense/crime fiction:

He Died With His Eyes Open by Derek Raymond for $3.17. This is the first book in his Factory series, publisher Profile Books. The other books are published by Melville House and running $9.99.

Widely admired as the godfather of the British noir novel, Derek Raymond was born Robin Cook in 1931. He died in 1994.

As it turns out, a dead man can tell stories...

Murders are a dime a dozen in Margaret Thatcher's London, and when it comes to the brutal killing of a middle-aged alcoholic found dumped outside of town, Scotland Yard has more important cases to deal with.

Instead it's a job for the Department of Unexplained Deaths and its head Detective Sergeant. With only a box of cassette-tape diaries as evidence the rogue detective has no chouce but to listen to the haunting voice of the victim for clues to his gruesome end.

The first book in Derek Raymond's acclaimed Factory Series is an unflinching yet deeply compassionate portrait of a city plagued by poverty and perversion, and a policeman who may be the only one who cares about the "people who don't matter and who never did."

So seeing a coupon from sony for 50% off and me owning a Sony finally inspired me to create a Store account, I'm aussie so I'm not supposed to be able to access the store however it actually wasn't hard. I went to preferences in the Reader software changed Region to US, went to the store created my account using a Hotels address in Anchorage and away I went No VPN required and it accepted my aussie Amex Credit card.

Took me a long while to find a non agency title I ended up with a Reed Farrel Coleman book called Walking the perfect square, I've never read him before but he seems to be highly regarded and all his titles in the store are non agency
