I'm so bummed that I missed those specials on Diskworld! I did get Reaper Man, but didn't know the others were available. Sob.
Chronicles of St Mary's books are a hoot. I bought it earlier today.
I don't know where you're looking but the Discworld books I posted about appear to still be reduced at Amazon US.

All but Reaper Man are at $9.99 at Amazon US for me. As they were when I first looked. I figured I had just missed the others. I had a couple already though.

Wyrd Sisters http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000W94DZC

Reaper Man http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UVBT4A

Maskerade http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UVBT36

Carpe Jugulum http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000W5MI9Y
(quoting just to get the list of them here, with the discussion) I see them at $1.99 too .... because I've purchased the print version from Amazon. Maybe that's why not all of us see the $1.99 price.

Matchbook? I didn't even know that was still a thing. I haven't bought a physical book in a while. Crap! I see it now... missed that completely. My bad.

No sweat! I bought 2 (3?) of them that I wouldn't have looked for otherwise, since I do already have the print book!

It seems like this has been on sale before...

Way Station by Clifford D Simak is $1.99 on amazon.com

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YO78RRS

Quote:
Hugo Award Winner: In backwoods Wisconsin, an ageless hermit welcomes alien visitors—and foresees the end of humanity . . .

Enoch Wallace is not like other humans. Living a secluded life in the backwoods of Wisconsin, he carries a nineteenth-century rifle and never seems to age—a fact that has recently caught the attention of prying government eyes. The truth is, Enoch is the last surviving veteran of the American Civil War and, for close to a century, he has operated a secret way station for aliens passing through on journeys to other stars. But the gifts of knowledge and immortality that his intergalactic guests have bestowed upon him are proving to be a nightmarish burden, for they have opened Enoch’s eyes to humanity’s impending destruction. Still, one final hope remains for the human race . . . though the cure could ultimately prove more terrible than the disease.

Winner of the Hugo Award for Best Novel, Way Station is a magnificent example of the fine art of science fiction as practiced by a revered Grand Master. A cautionary tale that is at once ingenious, evocative, and compassionately human, it brilliantly supports the contention of the late, great Robert A. Heinlein that “to read science-fiction is to read Simak.”

Outlander: A Novel (Outlander, Book 1) by Diana Gabaldon - $1.99

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FC2L1O

Stumbled across this one... I've heard mention of it but wasn't sure where to put it.
Outlander fits in here due to the time travel and the rest of the book fits in the romance thread.

It's an odd book. I have read it and I didn't really take to it.

The books also fit well in historicals. The details of life are quite well covered. And one gets more facts about the Jacobite resistance & failure at Culloden, about settlement of the New World, and eventually about the Revolutionary War in the New World. I liked them and await any new books.

I have lost count of the number of times I have read this book. It is my favorite Clifford D Simak book. I have it in paper and ebook.

Kobo Canada has The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume One 1929-1964 on sale for $2.99 Cdn. As usual, I suspect that Amazon and Kobo US have the same pricing.

Originally published in 1970 (I still have the paperback somewhere), it's definitely worth the price. With an introduction by Robert Silverberg, it includes the following stories:

"A Martian Odyssey" by Stanley G. Weinbaum
"Twilight" by John W. Campbell
"Helen O'Loy" by Lester del Rey
"The Roads Must Roll" by Robert A. Heinlein
"Microcosmic God" by Theodore Sturgeon
"Nightfall" by Isaac Asimov
"The Weapon Shop" by A. E. van Vogt
"Mimsy Were the Borogoves" by Lewis Padgett
"Huddling Place" by Clifford D. Simak
"Arena" by Frederic Brown
"First Contact" by Murray Leinster
"That Only a Mother" by Judith Merril
"Scanners Live in Vain" by Cordwainer Smith
"Mars is Heaven!" by Ray Bradbury
"The Little Black Bag" by C. M. Kornbluth
"Born of Man and Woman" by Richard Matheson
"Coming Attraction" by Fritz Leiber
"The Quest for Saint Aquin" by Anthony Boucher
"Surface Tension" by James Blish
"The Nine Billion Names of God" by Arthur C. Clarke
"It's a Good Life" by Jerome Bixby
"The Cold Equations" by Tom Godwin
"Fondly Fahrenheit" by Alfred Bester
"The Country of the Kind," Damon Knight
"Flowers for Algernon" by Daniel Keyes
"A Rose for Ecclesiastes" by Roger Zelazny

I'm showing that I can purchase it as an audiobook ($17.95), or get it free if I join Audible.bl

ADDED: I see what you're saying: It simply isn't available as an ebook from Amazon.uk. I checked Kobo.uk, as well, and only the audiobook is available.
