Just to mention for those in Kobo Plus countries, All the Thieve's World books I've looked at are in Kobo Plus. One of those items that makes it worthwhile for me.

Sadly only available to residents of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Portugal, Italy, France and Netherlands.

Rogue Moon by Algis Budrys is $1.99 at Amazon US.

A monstrous apparatus has been found on the surface of the moon. It devours and destroys in ways so incomprehensible to humans that a new language has to be invented to describe it and a new kind of thinking to understand it. So far, the human guinea pigs sent there in hopes of unraveling the murderous maze have all died terrible deaths. The most recent volunteer survived but is now on suicide watch. The ideal candidate won’t go insane even as he feels the end approaching. Al Barker has already stared into the face of death; he can handle it again. But he won’t merely endure the trauma of dying. Barker will die over and over—even as his human qualities are preserved on Earth.
*
With its cast of fascinating characters—like brilliant scientist Edward Hawks, who is obsessed with rebirth—Rogue Moon is a rare thriller that doesn’t just make you sweat. It makes you think.

Mickey7 by Edward Ashton is $1 on Rebellion Publishing's website
It was previously on sale for $3 on Amazon.
There's an upcoming movie based on it written and directed by Bong Joon-ho (Snowpiercer, Okja, Parasite).
The movie is called Mickey 17, which must mean it has 10 more Mickeys, and more space.

Dying isn’t any fun…but at least it’s a living.

Mickey7 is an Expendable: a disposable employee on a human
expedition sent to colonize the ice world Niflheim. Whenever there’s a mission
that’s too dangerous—even suicidal— the crew turns to Mickey. After one
iteration dies, a new body is regenerated with most of his memories intact.
Mickey signed on to escape from both bad debts and boredom on Midgard.

After six deaths, Mickey7 understands the terms of his
deal…and why it was the only colonial position unfilled when he took it.

When he goes missing and is presumed dead at the hands of
deadly indigenous creatures, Mickey8 reports for duty, and their troubles
really begin.

Am I too stupid to use this website or is there no buy button?

[salty-horse]

Maybe it's region-restricted, but I doubt it.

[FourOhFour]

Huh. I have nothing between the price and the "Soon to be a major motion picture" text. If I click on another book at random, I see the buy button there. Weird.

[salty-horse]

Sounds like a regional restriction. If you're interesting, try accessing it via cellular internet - it sometimes gets around it.

The website navigation was weird (US viewer). there was an 'ebook' button only on the linked page, then I had to accept cookies, THEN I got to a (general book list) page with Buy for$

Yup. Cellular didn't work, but I got a VPN to Germany and now it's offering £0.99. Change country back to US in checkout and it changes to $0.99. Thanks!

[ZodWallop]

I suspect it is a regional thing. In the US the book is published by St. Martin's press.

Nothing working for me either, in the US. Safari, Chrome, and Firefox for Mac all come up without a buy box.

The Complete Orsinia: Malafrena / Stories and Songs by Ursula K. Le Guin is $2 on Amazon.com

This contains Orsinian Tales, which was previously on sale.

Summary on Library of America's website: https://www.loa.org/books/513-the-complete-orsinia

The inaugural volume of Library of America’s Ursula K. Le Guin edition gathers her complete Orsinian writings, enchanting, richly imagined historical fiction collected here for the first time. Written before Le Guin turned to science fiction, the novel Malafrena is a tale of love and duty set in the central european country of Orsinia in the early nineteenth century, when it is ruled by the Austrian empire. The stories originally published in Orsinian Tales (1976) offer brilliantly rendered episodes of personal drama set against a history that spans Orsinia’s emergence as an independent kingdom in the twelfth century to its absorption by the eastern Bloc after World War II. The volume is rounded out by two additional stories that bring the history of Orsinia up to 1989, the poem “Folksong from the Montayna Province,” Le Guin’s first published work, and two never before published songs in the Orisinian language.
