I tried searching for that to add a report, but I can't find it. Hopefully that means it's been taken down.

Here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/Great-Book-Am...3594817&sr=8-1 There is no Kindle edition (as was pointed out to me). However, what I reported was a totally different book when one clicks on the Kindle edition. Unfortunately, this wrong book is still listed. The paper edition (published by Avon?) is listed. I'm assuming that the paper edition is legitimate. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong.) Last edited by Dr. Drib; 05-08-2023 at 09:17 PM. |

The Red Scholar's Wake by Aliette de Bodard is £0.99 in the UK (Kobo, Amazon)
Was on my wishlist. Space pirates, sapphic romance, political intrigue. Set in the universe of Xuya, but you don't need to have read any of the other stories. Quote:

I did pick up Little, Big on sale, but haven't read it yet. Anyone more familiar with John Crowley than me? |

I read Engine Summer back in the 80s. I liked it a lot -- so much so that I still remember it. It was slow moving, but very imaginative.

It's odd, switching to the UK I didn't need to fill out a phone number, but switching back to the US it did. Not sure if it only sometimes requires it. |

Thanks for the tip. At least it's not a new problem. Is there any chance of getting your account banned or otherwise sanctioned for messing with this stuff? Despite buying a dozen books, I still have to do a CAPTCHA every time I log in to my account, so it seems Kobo already thinks I'm shady, and I haven't even travelled yet.

When I first registered for an account, not all that long ago, I couldn't complete the process without supplying a phone number.

Practically speaking, I've been doing it for several months now with purchases from both the US and the UK, and my account continues to work fine. I've even successfully filed a price match request against Amazon.com for a purchase made from Kobo US, before switching my account address back. They didn't care that I was using a Manhattan postal code with my state set to Alaska. Nor did they care about the Canadian area code on my account phone number. So my slightly longer answer is, “Probably not? But YMMV.” ![]() Quote:

So you went in 'Too Deep', huh? -- I thought I told you to avoid unknown waters. There's no telling what's going to pop out of the ocean when you're not looking!! ![]() ![]() Little Big is a classic fantasy novel and, for me, one that transcends the Fantasy genre.
