Cross-posted from the YA thread:

Google Play has Suzanne Collin's Mockingjay, book three of The Hunger Games Trilogy, on sale for $3.99.

It's also been price-matched at Amazon, but not at Barnes & Noble or Kobo.

SECOND VARIETY by Philip K. Dick is not available at Amazon for $0.99

“Second Variety” occurs in the aftermath of an extensive nuclear war between the Soviet Union (sometimes referred to as Russia) and the United Nations. Early Soviet victories forced the North American government and production to flee to a Moon Base, leaving the majority of their troops behind. To counter the almost complete Soviet victory, U.N. technicians develop robots, nicknamed claws—the basic models are “a churning sphere of blades and metal” that ambush their unsuspecting victims “spinning, creeping, shaking themselves up suddenly from the gray ash and darting toward… [any warm body].” U.N. forces are protected from the claws by a special radiation-emitting wrist tab. Within six years, the sophisticated and independent claws have destroyed the Soviet forces, repairing and redesigning themselves in automated underground factories run without any human oversight.

That's clearly a typo. Not is supposed to be now.

Btw, you can read it for free, it's only 50 pages as it is.

No, I can't. It's only in the public domain in the US, and hence not available to customers in other countries.

I know they don't, but that's completely irrelevant. For me to download it from PG, or anywhere else, would be exactly the same as getting it from any other illegal source, and I don't pirate books. My personal choice. What other people choose to do is their decision.
