The publisher's special price for Seveneves is $3.99 (local dollars) in Australia and New Zealand at the moment.

(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.)

Sailing to Sarantium: Book One of the Sarantine Mosaic
by Guy Gavriel Kay

is $1.99 at Amazon

http://www.amazon.com/Sailing-Sarant...g+to+sarantium

Below is the blurb:
Crispin is a master mosaicist, creating beautiful art with colored stones and glass. Summoned to Sarantium by imperial request, he bears a Queen's secret mission, and a talisman from an alchemist. Once in the fabled city, with its taverns and gilded sanctuaries, chariot races and palaces, intrigues and violence, Crispin must find his own source of power in order to survive-and unexpectedly discovers it high on the scaffolding of his own greatest creation.

Well for me (in Denmark?) the price is sadly enough $16.24.

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.

I don't think so. If you search for "sailing to sarantium" at amazon.com then you get a list of possibilities. And here the price is $1.99 for the Kindle edition. (also today)

If you then select the Kindle edition then you come to the main page of the book and the price is changed to $16.24

Don't understand well what you mean. This is what I see. I already bought it a couple of days ago, but the price is staying the same. Wish the book 2 was reduced as well. Oh well....

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.

Or they may both be the same edition (we need the ASIN to know) but the publisher has set different prices for different countries.

A quick look at the EU stores shows prices about 7 EUR inc VAT

That's certainly in line with the Amazon UK price of £5.99.

As I mentioned earlier I was presented with a list of possibilities when I searched for "sailing to..".
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.
