I have been looking for the last few days.
The only VERY surprising thing is, that I haven't found this info on the frontpage of all e-book centric sites, such as Mobileread, TeleRead ...
This is why I was asking so carefully. I thought I was missing something obvious.

Hint: Consider publishing info on your blog, you might get listed as source on other places ;-)
Hint: Have you ever tried submitting article to Slashdot? [:evil grin:] (make sure to register first. I haven't when I submitted my first thing that got published)

If this turns out to be more than a glitch, it might be BIG.
Like this...

Is that in preparation for Book 2? Enquiring minds want to know.

Hi Caleb,

Book 2 K:OS will be launching on 5th December 2011. In keeping with start date of the book, which starts 5th December 2110. I did the same with Tag and would like to keep it for the new one.

With the schedule I have in Day Job that's going to be tough to hit but the crew is ready.

The good news is that the writing is going well, plot mostly fleshed out; and so far it is a wild ride.

I'd love for you to be a beta reader when the editor is done.

Cheers,
Simon

I fear all those wicked rumors about Amazon not charging for delivery, might just have been... rumors

... or perhaps the free delivery is only for books above certain price point
... or perhaps the free delivery thing was just a glitch in a database

At the moment when those ... rumors ... got started I DID see prices without surcharge. And quite a few other people in various countries saw that too.

Yep, me too

Methinks, Amazon took a look at their P&L statement and said, "Nah, that's too much money to throw away..." or it was just a very expensive glitch.

I note also that TAGS have disappeared. Ho hum. Either that is deliberate or the system is unstable. I cannot imagine why they would remove them, so I tend to think the latter. They're carrying a lot of complicated inventory; it must be a bit of a pig to administer.

Up to 18 reviews on Amazon... all of them 4 or 5 star, which is really cool.
