Moonseed by Stephen Baxter is $2 at Amazon, B&N and Kobo US. I have read Moonseed a while back and really enjoyed it.
This is listed as part of the NASA Trilogy (along with Voyage and Titan). This is a trilogy of themes only. Each is a stand-alone novel with no continuing characters or situations (in fact, the situations in the books would contradict each other). Quote:

Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham is £0.99 on Amazon UK
As discussed before, this is the original edition. Of interest is Daniel Ryon Sweet's Master of Arts thesis Addressing the "Wyndham Problem": A Versioned Approach to Textual Variation in John Wyndham's Postwar Novels (PDF) which describes the reasons for these changes (some made by Wyndham himself, with the encouragement of with his US editor Walter I. Bradbury and agent Frederik Pohl.) |

The Winnowing Flame Trilogy by Jen Williams is $1.99 at Amazon US and Kobo US.
I don't know anything about this except that two of the novels won the British Fantasy Award and that it's on sale. https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the...lame-trilogy-1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BHZ4KPMV |

Well, now I know how I'm filling out a Discworld collection. I might have to actually start reading it:
Humble Bundle has 38 Discworld books for $18. I'm really interested in whether this is a complete set of Pratchett's discworld books. I must confess I'm not too interested in another argument about what order to read them in. :P Edit: A quick wiki answered my question. This contains all of the novels except the Last Hero (presumably because it's illustrated?) and the last two (Raising Steam & The Shepherd's Crown) Last edited by GlennD; 01-11-2024 at 07:03 PM. |

Hmmm, only 12 books I don't already own. Still pretty good at $1.50 per book.

ETA: The restriction is via Humble Bundle; as soon as you log in, it applies even when you're using a VPN. If it was a straight download (which it has been in the past), it's OK to log in as a guest. Last edited by maddz; 01-12-2024 at 02:18 AM. |

I even forgot to checkmark a few of the books when redeeming and Kobo (a really anti-user process), and the support team helped me resolve it. |

Not exactly the same, but I live in the US and have purchased books from Kobo only available in the UK. When I go to My Books, all books purchased from the US and UK show up together as my books.

My guess it's a Big Five requirement to fulfil via Kobo; I think the previous geo-locked bundles were small press. |
