The books that are legal usually include a mention of the copyright status and who authorized the book's availability. This book, for example, specifically mentions that the author authorized the upload and I believe it because the uploader is Duke University, where the author is a professor. |

I don't know about if it's a legal upload to the Internet Archive or not but I did notice a discrepancy over at Amazon. A copy of Mr. Strobel's book in Spanish is .99 for the Kindle, but the same book in English is $5.11 a difference of $4.12 before any tax. Same publisher, same format, even same cover image but one is $4.12 cheaper than the other one. That makes no sense at all. I wrote customer service about it. I wonder what kind of response I will get.

I did hear back from Amazon. Basically they laid it at the publisher's feet. Sort of passing the buck you might say. i.e. we don't make the rules about what books cost the publisher's do it. But they do allow such differences to occur so their hands aren't completely clean I don't think.

Hatchette Publishing Company, among others, might disagree and demur.

Jim Bishop's The Day Christ Died. A Classic. Greatly Marked Down Right Now.
A lot of marked-down books about Jesus Christ have been passing in front of my eyes the last few days. No doubt in honor or celebration of Easter.
This book has been around a long time. It's a good one. It's a real classic. If you have the Kindle ebook, you can get the narration (audio) for only $3.49. The regular price is well over $14.95, so it would count toward the four needed to get the $10 credit from Amazon during the current promotion. The Day Christ Died. By Jim Bishop. Rated 4 1/2 stars, from 86 reviews at the present moment. Print list price $13.99; digital list(?) price $9.25; Kindle price now $1.99. HarperCollins e-books, publisher. 288 pages. http://www.amazon.com/Day-Christ-Die...ay+Christ+Died. Book Description "This is a book about the most dramatic day in the history of the world, the day on which Jesus of Nazareth died. It opens at 6 P.M.—the beginning of the Hebrew day—with Jesus and ten of the apostles coming through the pass between the Mount of Olives and the Mount of Offense en route to Jerusalem and the Last Supper. It closes at 4 P.M. the following afternoon, when Jesus was taken down from the cross. . . . The fundamental research was done a long time ago by four fine journalists: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The rest has been added in bits and pieces from many men whose names span the centuries."—from the Foreword |

There's a pretty impressive stack of study Bibles on sale. Most of these have been on sale before and sometimes for less, but there's rarely this many at once.
The Names of God Bible is on sale at Christianbook for $2.39 (it's $20 at B&N and Amazon). The blurb doesn't say so, but it's the God's Word translation from Baker Books with the exception that names of God are transliterated, but left untranslated (Elohim, Yahweh, El Shaddai...). The sample includes most of Genesis if you're not sure if this is for you. Christianbook The MacArthur Study Bible NASB is $4.99. Christianbook B&N Amazon The Orthodox Study Bible is $4.99. The Old Testament is a translation of the Greek Septuagint (including Apocrypha) "in the style of the NKJV" and the New Testament is the NKJV. It's one of my favorites. Christianbook B&N Amazon Thomas Nelson's King James Study Bible is $6.99. Christianbook B&N Amazon NKJV Bibles: The New Spirit-Filled Life Bible NKJV is $3.99. Christianbook B&N Amazon The Jesus Calling Devotional Bible is $4.99. Christianbook B&N Amazon The MacArthur Study Bible NKJV is $4.99. Christianbook B&N Amazon The Duck Commander Faith and Family Bible is $5.99. Christianbook B&N Amazon The NKJV Study Bible: Full Color Edition is $7.99. Christianbook B&N Amazon NIV Bibles: The Chronological Study Bible NIV is $4.99. Christianbook B&N Amazon The Case for Christ Study Bible is $4.99. Christianbook B&N Amazon The Great Rescue (NIV): Discover Your Part in God's Plan is $4.99. Christianbook B&N Amazon The New Spirit-Filled Life Bible NIV is $4.99. Christianbook B&N Amazon |

Two HarperCollins-published titles I spotted at Amazon US:
Witness to Hope by George Weigel $2.99 Amazon US A biography of Pope John Paul II. I haven't read this yet but I understand this book was originally written when JP II was still alive, i.e. may not cover his entire life. Publisher's blurb: Spoiler:
Catholicism: New Study Edition by Richard McBrien $3.79 Amazon US A very thick and intellectually demanding book--I own a paperback of this too. Note that the book was written before Popes Benedict XVI and Francis. The publisher's blurb isn't helpful so I'm quoting Library Journal: Spoiler:

Apparently the Catholicism book is largely a compilation of the writer's thoughts and opinions.

The size and weight alone of the paperback are themselves disincentives to reading the book, hence my recent purchase of the e-book. It does seem a very divisive title, based on the online reviews. |
