John Brunner's Shockwave Rider is $1.99 at Amaon right now.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J5X5M42/

In a world drowning in data and information and choking on novelty and innovation, Nickie Haflinger, a most dangerous fugitive who doesn't even appear to exist, provides a window onto a global society falling apart in all directions, with madness run amok and personal freedom surrendered to computers and bureaucrats. Caught and about to be re-programmed, can he escape once again, defy the government and turn the tide of organizational destruction?

Greg
If you haven't read it, it really is worth the $1.99...

Little Brown has a few publisher specials for Australia and New Zealand. The prices are not very special compared to the UK/US prices, but I thought I'd post because Little Brown's normal Au/NZ prices are so absurdly high, and it is unusual to see them discounted here. (Prices in local dollars):

Ann Leckie, Ancillary Justice, $4.99
Hannu Rajaniemi, The Quantum Thief, $4.99
Hannu Rajaniemi, The Fractal Prince, $4.99
Charles Stross, Neptune's Brood, $4.99

Edit: Actually Hannu Rajaniemi is published by Orion, but it's still Hachette so comments about price and discounts still apply.

Pump Six and Other Stories [Kindle Edition] by Paolo Bacigalupi - $1.99

Quote:
Paolo Bacigalupi's debut collection demonstrates the power and reach of the science fiction short story. Social criticism, political parable, and environmental advocacy lie at the center of Paolo's work. Each of the stories herein is at once a warning, and a celebration of the tragic comedy of the human experience.
The eleven stories in Pump Six represent the best Paolo's work, including the Hugo nominee "Yellow Card Man," the nebula and Hugo nominated story "The People of Sand and Slag," and the Sturgeon Award-winning story "The Calorie Man."

I read Just One Damned Thing After Another by Jodi Taylor a couple of days ago, and enjoyed it quite a bit. Went to look at reviews of book two, and saw that both 1&2 are available as free downloads from Goodreads(epub). I'm not sure if you have to be logged in or not the see the download ebook link. They can also be read online if you want.

Bummer, I just bought those pretty recently -- but they were well worth it. I assume these are free now because the fourth in the series, A Trail Through Time, was just published.

From what I can tell you have to read them online. I couldn't find a download button. Or maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, but I found the read button with no way to download the epub?

I wasn't sure if I'd read book 2 or not. Book 1 is good, but it went darker than I like so I was thinking I'd just pass on book 2. But when it's FREE, it's harder to pass up. And I need more books. No, REALLY.

That's from back when they weren't connected to Amazon. They had plans to sell books. I uploaded Under Witch Moon for sale there and had filled out all the forms and so on. It was probably a month? or two? later that I got a notice that only "free" books would be uploaded from that point on. They only had support for Epub and I think that the whole program stagnated after Amazon bought them. I was surprised anyone bothered to upload a file there. I know you can still give your stuff away, but I don't think many people use it and their 'metrics' and reporting is pretty, well it's almost non-existent.

Few people even know they had a download program, although I did sell one copy before they pulled the plug on selling. It's this odd remnant hanging there.
