I was able to use two of the 35% coupons in the shopping cart for the non-preorder books. Because paying 62¢ is so much better than 95¢ I imagine the 9¢ books are couponable, too. But I didn't think to add any coupons when I bought 8 of them earlier

I'm not usually a zombie fan, but I like Delphine Dryden, and Love with a Chance of Zombies sounds like a fun read.

Remember all those HQN pre-order freebies (I checked... they aren't free anymore) back in September? I woke up, checked my email on my phone and thought for a second my Amazon account had been hacked when I saw all the order confirmation emails. I'd sent them to my Paperwhite, and when I grabbed it, it wouldn't turn on and had some screen saver message that I needed to register device. Had to restart it, then all the books were delivered, and I proceeded to delete them so they wouldn't drain the battery indexing.

Moral of the story: in the future I shall send pre-orders I'm not necessarily interested in reading immediately to a different device!

I always send everything Kindle For PC because it needs to be backed up. I never send a book to one of my Kindle but on the KF it will be there no matter what. Looks like I will have alot of cleaning of my carousel to do.

I haven't checked my account as I'm away from the house. I did get an email that two of the release dates had been changed to April. Glad to see they honored the preorders though and didn't cancel them.
