Tomely.com - another pay what you want bundle
Just came across this site. None of the books particularly interest me but in case anyone else is interested.

Is anyone familiar with this site? Looks interesting and it looks like this is their second bundle.

Just a minor note - it's not a pay-what-you-want, it's a minimum $5 bundle; and at least two of the books are novellas.

They should just say minimum $5. After telling you it's pay what you want, when you actually do put a value lower than $5 they accuse you of being a cheapskate. Not sure how that helps to get money out of people - it's never worked with me in the past. |

Actually, StoryBundle also has a minimum, but it's $3.
I'm sure Humble has a minimum as well so you can't say you don't want to pay anything. I know on games, Humble requires a minimum of $1 to get the Steam keys. So technically, by your definition, none of them are Pay What You Want.

I tested the current Humble Bundle ebook bundle - with amounts between $0.01 and $0.99 they ask for a captcha, and display a begging-author image.

Humble lets you pay whatever. But the whole point is that they want you to get the extras that they highlight, so they always put the current average. I always round to the nearest dollar to get those.
