As a Kobo owner in TX, you could easily buy a Kobo gift card at Wal-Mart and then "take a trip to the UK" and buy them at Kobo UK...

I would say that George R.R. Martin is writing for writing's sake, which is why he doesn't churn out endless mediocre doorstoppers, the way some writers do.

Yeah, there's also a book I'd like to buy, The Town That Forgot How to Breathe that is not available digitally in The States, but is in the UK. I've just never been motivated enough to actually do it. Maybe if I didn't already have a TBR pile that would kill me if it fell over (and weren't just a bunch of electronic 0s and 1s), I'd have more reason to explore travelling.

Do you consider Sanderson's books mediocre?

I've read in an interview that GRRM likes "having written" rather than the actual process of writing. Sanderson never stops. He takes breaks from big projects by writing something else. He talks about writing on planes and on road trips. Martin only writes at home with Wordstar.

They're two of my favorite writers.

Wordstar? I seem to vaguely remember using that before they invented Edlin...

I may have used Wordstar, but I do remember actually using WordPerfect (urgh). Learning the mark-up codes was a real chore.

Phoenix Pick also announced publisherspick.com. As they said...

Quote:
We started giving away a free book every month in June 2010, more than 8 years ago. With the exception of one month, we have given away one every month since then.

However, how we have done it has changed over time. And we are about to change it once again. There are a number of reasons for this including the exhausting of our own catalogue. Plus we have been asked by various sources if they can include their books to be given away or be put on sale.

So we are now in the process of creating a new web-site which will feature sales by various publishers, including Phoenix Pick. Currently we have two other publishers, and one self-published author who have already agreed to participate and we expect the number to grow. If you are an author and wish to participate, feel free to contact me (pp@arcmanor.com, a dedicated email address for this).

And we are planning on having weekly deals, with each week bringing you three new books from participants. That's a lot of books. Each book will be reduced by at least 50% and some will be offered for free.

The new web-site will go live the first week of December. In the meantime, I'm running a test site BUT the test site has REAL deals. So if you all want to check it out, do so.

btw, the site states that it will change weekly...that is not happening till December...till then the three books already listed there will be used for testing.

The new web-site is Publisher's Pick

Your link is wrong. It's going to pBook versions. Here's the link that goes to the eBook version. Both are £2.99.

If you buy a Kindle book, it goes to a specific device. That can be a free desktop application, a phone or tablet app or an actual Kindle. In any case, it's registered from a specific Amazon store.
