They occasionally bring bundles back for a day or so in the run-up to christmas. I ended up passing on the Cherryh too, since, for me, it involved lying about my location and I just couldn't be bothered. And it was mostly about back-filling my library with books I've read but don't own, or don't own digitally, and I didn't think I'd re-read any of them any time soon.
The CJ Cherryh bundle is active again for 6 more days. I was excited to see this because I missed it the first time because of other things going on in RL. But I have bought it now!

Ah, another Baen bundle with what look like additional public domain reprints. I already have a lot from various Baen CD-ROMS - at least 22 books, half never read as they're mil-SF which I'm not that keen on.

Of the newer titles, there's only 6 I'm interested in... Unfortunately, it's not a build-your-own bundle.

Pity...
The ones that seem on Public Domain are the book by Wells, and the two from Roy Rockwood; and "The Future Eve" by Auguste Villiers de l'Isle-Adam is on Project Gurtemberg only in french.
Quote:
Begun in 1878 and originally published in 1880 as L'Ève nouvelle, the novel is known for popularizing the term "Android".
Quote:
Mamoru Oshii's film Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence opens with a quote from The Future Eve. "If our gods and hopes are nothing but scientific phenomena, then it must be said that our love is scientific as well."
Well, I'm humble but won't be in the mood either , already have the pile to read full (thanks also, and again, for yours too !).

Where does it say countries available?

Strange that the bundle supports a UK charity but isn't open to UK residents.

It is available in the US.

However, the just using a VPN to buy from another country no longer works. You need to change the location in your account. I don't know if a VPN is also needed.

I've changed my location to US, use a VPN and pay using PayPal. The last is important as if you use the 'wrong' credit/debit card, you get told 'not available in your country'. I believe card numbers are geo-locatable.

Not many places geolocate your credit card. That's why I can buy from Amazon in two countries and Kobo in two countries.

Someone I knew did the VPN & changed location, but when he tried paying with his UK card, he got the 'not available' message. So my take is, do all 3, making sure your VPN and Humble locations are both set to US, and pay with PayPal. I've had no issues doing that.

To be honest, I usually pay with PayPal; it limits storing credit card details. It's rare these days I have my card details stored.

Agreed. I use PayPal when I'm given the option. Sometimes I use the pay in 3 and that works very well.

I bought the Cherryh and Wolfe bundles with a new account I set up "in the US". I had to use a VPN to set the location, but it doesn't seem to matter any more once it is set. I paid via Paypal. I also used a .co.uk email for the US account (a domain I own), which amused me, but I guess doesn't really mean much.

I don't know if it was really worth it, given that I was mainly just replacing paper books I might never re-read, but I guess it wasn't really that much money, either.
