Song of Fire and Ice price drops
I received an email today from an ebook price-tracking site (thanks bibliosaur.com!) that George R. R. Martin's A Feast for Crows (Song of Fire and Ice #4) was on sale for $4.99. It looks like the price is good at Amazon, B&N, and iTunes.

Further investigation looks like the previous 3 works in the series have also had significant price reductions (now $5 -$6) at the same retailers. Looks like the most recent book, A Dance with Dragons, is holding fairly steady at $12.

At first I thought the price drops might be in conjunction with a new season of the TV series, but a quick check shows the new season doesn't start until 2014. Perhaps it's secondary to "new" pricing practices in the wake of the ebook publishing settlements?

Most of the stores have new contracts with Random House (Random Penguin), the publisher for the series, that allow discounting. Titles from these publishers have been dropping quite a bit over the past few weeks. As you say the new season of HBO's AGoT doesn't air until spring (and S3 home video not until Feb 2014) so I don't think that's a reason at all.

I'd been planning to pick up book 5 when I finished book 4, but after noticing a price drop the other day, I purchased it early in case it isn't a permanent drop. Bonus: I got a special purchase credit that got me a zombie novel for $1, too. Score.

Amazon has the 4-book Kindle collection for $15.72. That is quite a bit lower than the $30 it was just a few weeks ago. Nice to see but I still won't read the series until its complete, haha.
