Thanks Jon!

I'm not sure this will entirely be my cuppa and the reviews are pretty mixed, but hey, illustrated AND only 75 cents? I'm there.

Would you believe the Jules Verne classic adventure under the sea is the first book I read after getting my Nook in 2010? No clue why, just that I always loved it as a kid and was hankering for a re-read.
After the post about Google price matching Amazon in the past, I decided to see if that's still true and it is. Hopefully the book will be good.

£1.99 on UK Kobo (which works fine in Ireland and bills from a Dublin office!)
Reduced to €11.19 on Kobo Ireland. Idiot publisher?

No DRM (on UK anyway).

Even images that are small enough that they don't get resized get more heavily compressed unless they were already heavily compressed.
That requires some "hoops" to connect WiFi to accept the ebook, but not update accidentally. For about 5 years now, as I think 2019 was when the KFX came out for PW3?

Brown Girl in the Ring by Nalo Hopkinson is $2 in the US (Amazon only!)
Quote:
In this "impressive debut" from award-winning speculative fiction author Nalo Hopkinson, a young woman must solve the tragic mystery surrounding her family and bargain with the gods to save her city and herself. (The Washington Post)

The rich and privileged have fled the city, barricaded it behind roadblocks, and left it to crumble. The inner city has had to rediscover old ways -- farming, barter, herb lore. But now the monied need a harvest of bodies, and so they prey upon the helpless of the streets. With nowhere to turn, a young woman must open herself to ancient truths, eternal powers, and the tragic mystery surrounding her mother and grandmother. She must bargain with gods, and give birth to new legends.

The problem with Google's book store is they completely block it off for anyone outside the US, so you can't even check the price.
You can use a VPN.

The sample from Amazon UK has double quotes. So I'd quess it is the same. But even if not, it's a steal. So go for it.

Nope, wifi updates were trivial to block in the good old days, just create a directory with the correct name (no jailbreak required). That is hardly a hoop.

I don't know when PW3 got KFX, but I think significantly before 2019.

2019 was when kfx finally came to Kindle for PC/Mac. I believe it started showing up on Kindles in 2015.

eta: Actually looks like kfx came to Kindle for PC in 2017.

The Heroes by Joe Abercrombie is $3.

Heavenly Bodies is on sale for $2.99 CAD on Kobo.

A runaway TikTok sensation, Heavenly Bodies is the first book in a dazzling new romantasy series that blends mythology and shadow magic with a tantalizing enemies-to-lovers romance that will rewrite the stars.

Middlegame by Seanan McGuire is $3 at Amazon and Kobo. I missed it last time it was on sale.

Quote:
New York Times bestselling and Alex, Nebula, and Hugo-Award-winning author Seanan McGuire introduces readers to a world of amoral alchemy, shadowy organizations, and impossible cities in the standalone fantasy, Middlegame.

Meet Roger. Skilled with words, languages come easily to him. He instinctively understands how the world works through the power of story.

Meet Dodger, his twin. Numbers are her world, her obsession, her everything. All she understands, she does so through the power of math.

Roger and Dodger aren’t exactly human, though they don’t realise it. They aren’t exactly gods, either. Not entirely. Not yet.

Meet Reed, skilled in the alchemical arts like his progenitor before him. Reed created Dodger and her brother. He’s not their father. Not quite. But he has a plan: to raise the twins to the highest power, to ascend with them and claim their authority as his own.

Godhood is attainable. Pray it isn’t attained.
