My problem is that the transfer engine to move the books automatically to Kindle is broken-- only the primary batch of books is sent and it ends up getting sent two or more times, clogging up my library list.

... and I have to download and sideload the rest.

I can't complain too much, considering the deal I got on a bunch of really interesting books.

My Paperwhite isn't even letting me sideload them(I never had this problem with any other mobi file). I've followed the instructions to have them sent wirelessly and they never show up.

Anyone else have this problem/workaround?

I could sideload them, but I didn't even try to send them wirelessly because they showed up as azw3 instead of mobi when I imported them into Calibre, even though they had the mobi extension. Amazon doesn't let you send azw3 files by email.

Oh, and I wasn't able to download some of the mobi files from the first batch at all (at least using Safari, I didn't try Firefox). So I downloaded the epubs and converted them with Calibre.

Harrumph. The text of email from Nightshade says that Agatha H. and the Voice of the Castle was on sale, but the picture and the link say otherwise.

Love me some Girl Genius... was just looking at the latest comic before turning here, as a matter of fact.

That's the second book in the series. What bgalbrecht is pointing out is that Night Shade's e-mail erroneously used the title of the third book, creating the impression that that one was on sale, which it isn't.

[Harlock415]

Ah I gotcha. I'm hoping the other books in the series go on sale eventually as the book I bought sounds fun.

phoenix picks pay what you want ebook this month is Dark Water's Embrace by Stephen Leigh
http://www.phoenixpick.com/botm/Leigh.htm
Newsletter http://www.phoenixpick.com/newsletter/2015-03.htm

DESCRIPTION: "Often compared to Ursula K. Le Guin’s ground-breaking The Left Hand of Darkness, Dark Water’s Embrace is a fascinating look at issues of human (and alien) sexuality. Stephen Leigh creates a rich world with elaborate care and uses this alien backdrop to delve into issues of survival, sexuality and the meaning of life itself.

On the planet Mictlan, a small colony of stranded humans struggles to survive despite a diminishing birthrate and a high incidence of physical abnormalities. The cultural conflict engendered by the discovery of the mummified corpse of Mictlan’s now extinct former inhabitants forces the human community to reshape its moral principles to accommodate a bold & troubling solution to their problems."

The book will be available on a pay-what-you-want basis from March 2 to March 31.

This looks interesting. I got it for the Endi Webb story, but I know Whill of Agora is unexpectedly good.

He might have meant per-ordered it. It's just the wording is incorrect.

Wow, what an amazing deal! I have most of these and have read less than half of the books in this collection, but all of the ones I've read were really good.

Oh - it's sixteen novels , not 16 short stories. Hmm... I only recognise one author, but it might be worth my while. It says it'll be available for a month. Perhaps in April.

£0.99 at Amazon UK.
