The Amazon link in NightBird's message has an affiliate code.
Here is the link without such. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_no...omsbury+reader |

Edmund Crispin for $1.99 is not a bad deal.

I haven't read him, so a good time to try. It looks like they're putting at least one book by each author/series at $1.99, regular $7.99, so a good chance to try some new ones.

How do you tell if a link has an affiliate code?
Any recommendations in the sale? On a whim, I picked up two by Edith Sitwell on Elizabethan times. I've never read her work before. |

Does Kobo usually take a while to mark the prices down on something like this? Or did I miss it already and the prices are going back up? I'd like to be able to use the Kobo coupon, but don't want to miss out on some of these if this was a very short time frame deal, and could go ahead and buy from Amazon. Any advice from anyone? |

I picked up YA The Boy at the End of the World from Books on Board for $1.15 with promo code. It's available at Kobo for $1.19. Book received good reviews.

It's hard to say what they are doing when there is nothing at the Bloomsbury website about it (at least that I could see). In these situations we never know if it's a price reduction or a sale and if it is, how long it will last. If you want them I would go ahead and buy them at Amazon, as $1.99 is still a good price for most of them. In fact, I had already bought some from them when Kobo lowered their prices. |

Yeah, there are a bunch of Bloomsbury Reader mysteries discounted on Amazon and Barnes&Noble, but not on Kobo (my reader of choice). There's no info on the website but there's something on the FB page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bloom...00508&app_data
Crispin, Allingham, Keating and Blake! For us Kobo folk, there are some other Keatings for $1.99: Is Skin Deep, Is Fatal: http://www.kobobooks.com/ebook/Is-Sk...h4TMOy2tsQ&r=4 Murder Must Appetize: http://www.kobobooks.com/ebook/Murde...h4TMOy2tsQ&r=3 Zen There Was Murder: http://www.kobobooks.com/ebook/Zen-t...h4TMOy2tsQ&r=1 |
