Yes, oh wise one...but not in my location!

But, that's OK: I have many books to read.

As discussed with previous bundles, you can switch your location to the US and enjoy many bundles (I did).

US only Bundle. You'll need a VPN to see/buy this.

Sheesh. I see the bundle from Canada and the pricing shows in Canadian dollars. No VPN needed. Please stop speaking in incorrect absolutes.

I picked up the ebook bundle since I only have 4 of the Black Company books in ebook form. Beats all the game bundles advertisements that they send to my email.

Cross posting with general fiction as I'm not sure where it goes.

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller is on sale for $2.99 at Amazon and Kobo (probably other places).

Defekt (LitenVerse #2) by Nino Cipri is $3 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)

Quote:

Find out if five Dereks are better than one in Nino Cipri's Defekt, the sequel to Finna, the surrealist world-hopping adventure.

Derek is LitenVärld's most loyal employee. He lives and breathes the job, from the moment he wakes up in a converted shipping container at the edge of the parking lot to the second he clocks out of work 18 hours later. But after taking his first ever sick day, his manager calls that loyalty into question. An excellent employee like Derek, an employee made to work at LitenVärld, shouldn't need time off.
To test his commitment to the job, Derek is assigned to a special inventory shift, hunting through the store to find defective products. Toy chests with pincers and eye stalks, ambulatory sleeper sofas, killer mutant toilets, that kind of thing. Helping him is the inventory team — four strangers who look and sound almost exactly like him. Are five Dereks better than one?

UK here and I don't see it. Can someone post the list of titles so those that can't see it can work out whether it's worth mucking around with switching their VPN and payment method? They only allow 3 switches in a 3-month period so I leave it set to my country.

I changed it to the US a while back and I really don't "feel" it.
My payment method is the same credit card and address as before.
You don't have to keep using the VPN - it's just for setting your location.

All I know it that this bundle is not available in the UK. That usually means it's US only.

Well, of course, I've been traveling for years.

Tales of Wizards and Dragons

Three hilarious short stories for young readers by Terry Pratchett (maybe age 6 - 8?)

Only 25 pages, 7000 words. So very short.

Reduced from £3.99 to 99p on Kobo https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/tal...ds-and-dragons The Kobo version is epub3 and allegedly reflowable.

Reduced to 86p on Amazon UK https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tales-Wizar.../dp/B0D2N2J55R

It's listed as full colour and 54 Mbyte on Amazon, so likely don't buy it for an actual Kindle, unless maybe a PW1 or older (K3 or newer) and you can "export" it. Any mono eink Kindle after the PW1 that does KFX will get mono content.

Kobo might or might not price match because it's a limited offer?

EDIT:
I think 6 - 8, based on my own experience of many kids, are better with a paper version. Also a paper version is easier to give as a present that can be read to the child.
