(HarperCollins prices are not being updated at Kobo New Zealand for some reason, so you can get it for about $2.60 by using Kobo's price match + 10% scheme and matching against Google or Apple.) |

X-link to the DRM-free megathread for the new Humble Bundle:
Humble Audiobook Bundle Lord of the Rings containing mp3 versions of all 3 titles in the trilogy, The Hobbit, and two scholarly tie-in books. Also, Apex Magazine is hosting a Kickstarter for a new anthology, and one of the optional add-ons is a bundle of the first 78 issues of their award-nominated magazine for just $30. |

Price can very much depend on where you are in the world (or at least where Amazon thinks you are) and what publisher has rights for that area.

But you're not in Denmark. Prices vary from country to country. It may be, for example, that you're seeing a version of the book from a US publisher while svenlind is seeing a UK version, or vice versa.

Here the price was $1.99. I then tried to "Buy now with 1-click". But in vain, the price changed to $16.24 and I was told that prices of books can vary from country to country. I was not charged however. After writing this I looked once more and now the price is $2.49 that is $1.99 plus 25% Danish VAT. I then bought the book. ![]() |

Sleeping Embers of an Ordinary Mind by Anne Charnock is $2.00 on
Amazon US Amazons description: Named by the Guardian as one of the Best Science Fiction and Fantasy Books of 2015 History is storytelling. But some stories remain untold. In fifteenth-century Italy, Paolo Uccello recognizes the artistic talent of his young daughter, Antonia, and teaches her how to create a masterpiece. The girl composes a painting of her mother and inadvertently sparks an enduring mystery. In the present day, a copyist painter receives a commission from a wealthy Chinese businessman to duplicate a Paolo Uccello painting. Together, the painter and his teenage daughter visit China, and in doing so they begin their escape from a tragic family past. In the twenty-second century, a painting is discovered that’s rumored to be the work of Paolo Uccello’s daughter. This reawakens an art historian’s dream of elevating Antonia Uccello, an artist ignored by history because of her gender. Stories untold. Secrets uncovered. But maybe some mysteries should remain shrouded. |
