99p at Kobo UK for the HarperCollins release. Are there any differences between the two versions?

I don't think even the US & UK Amazon are the same:
Amazon UK
https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=The+Com...f=nb_sb_noss_2
Publisher "The Friday Project". The first listed seems similar to Kobo UK Harper Collins https://www.amazon.co.uk/Complete-Sh...dp/B00ALKTXCK/ with same cover and blurb.

Amazon US https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DZC5S42B?tag=mr060-20

Kobo UK https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/the...ries-the-1950s Harper Collins


I thought I had a paper omnibus of Brian Aldiss, but I only see 10 regular novels, however outsize editions are often in a different place to the regular size titles.

The US and UK Aldiss 1950s collections have the same stories based on the preview.

Many J. R. R. Tolkien (including History of Middle-Earth) ebooks are currently on sale today at Amazon, most for $1.99, $2.99 for the LOTR 3 in 1 ebook, $3.99 for the Illustrated edition of The Hobbit. Oddly, The Fellowship Of The Ring (book 1) is not on sale.

The City in Glass by Nghi Vo is $3 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)
Quote:
In this new standalone novel, Hugo Award-winning author Nghi Vo introduces a beguiling fantasy city in the tradition of Calvino, Mieville, and Le Guin.

A demon. An angel. A city.

The demon Vitrine—immortal, powerful, and capricious—loves the dazzling city of Azril. She has mothered, married, and maddened the city and its people for generations, and built it into a place of joy and desire, revelry and riot.

And then the angels come, and the city falls.

Vitrine is left with nothing but memories and a book containing the names of those she has lost—and an angel, now bound by her mad, grief-stricken curse to haunt the city he burned.

She mourns her dead and rages against the angel she longs to destroy. Made to be each other’s devastation, angel and demon are destined for eternal battle. Instead, they find themselves locked in a devouring fascination that will change them both forever.

Together, they unearth the past of the lost city and begin to shape its future. But when war threatens Azril and everything they have built, Vitrine and her angel must decide whether they will let the city fall again.

The City in Glass is both a brilliantly constructed history and an epic love story, of death and resurrection, memory and transformation, redemption and desire strong enough to reduce a world to ashes and remake it anew.

The Last Hero (Illustrated) is or was 99p on Kobo.
It's some sort of fixed layout epub with regular Adobe epub DRM. I got it working eventually on Calibre viewer. Also eventually on the Nxtpaper 14 in Pocketbook. I can't see how to get it two pages in landscape, though that works with reflowable epub2 and PDFs.

You'd want a big decent screen. Parchment styled background pages.

Great story and very pretty.

Got an alert too late for The Memory Garden by Mary Rickert, and now it's back to full price. Will try to catch it next time.
