These books are not ".99 cents" as claimed; they are in fact 99c. A difference in price of a factor of 100 is pretty significant .

I was bad... I bought all of the Year's Best SF (1-9, 11) and Year's Best Fantasy (1-5) that were on sale. Looks like most of the newer ones in those series are published by Tor.

Me too.

We will NOT be discussing how much else I bought (and none of it romance, so I don't have to post it in that thread!!!)

I checked my Amazon purchases, and I was charged 99 cents. I'm pretty steamed. The OP owes me money. We see that two moderators are aware of the problem, yet the OP hasn't been banned. This makes MR culpable as well. Anyone else open to joining a class action suit?

I also noticed that only volumes 1 and 3 of the C. S. Lewis letters were on sale. Volume 2 was $14.44.

I noticed that in some cases the first volume in a series was the only one on sale (i.e. Acorna), while in other cases, an entire series was on sale (saw a couple of SFF trilogies like that).

With how difficult it is to filter through these, plus the sale is US only which is a hassle, I ended up only buying two ebooks. One by Bartholomew Gill to try (Edgar nominated Death of a Joyce Scholar) and The Dark House by John Sedgwick which sounded interesting.

These days if the actual price is less than a dollar more than the quote, I'm usually happy!

Hey, I got charged $1.08!

Yeah, depends on where you buy it from. Kobo doesn't charge sales tax, but Sony and B&N do. Amazon sometimes charges tax on ebooks, but I haven't figured out the rules for when they charge and when they don't. I bought 15 at 99¢ and I debated buying from Sony so I could use a cart and make one purchase, but the tax would have been $1.20 which is enough to buy another book, so I made 15 individual purchases through Kobo...
