Yay... (oh crap). so many choices.

Well - there went my budget for the week. Bought a couple of Wedding/Bridesmaid guides because we are having the first daughter wedding in a few months. Bought some spy thrillers for me and slipped in a Steampunk Erotica novel to see if anyone notices. (My daughter, Mother and Mother-in-law share my library).

Anyone notice that many of the books listed on Amazon's sale site also include titles that Discover New Love has on sale also? I guess that Amazon does track the prices of other sites.

In the case of DANL, Sourcebooks provides discount pricing for their sales to all the stores and you can see the same titles on sale at B&N and elsewhere. So it's not so much Amazon keeping track and price-matching as much as taking advantage of already publisher-discounted price offers.

Anyway, the Sourcebooks DANL sale selections are cheaper (and DRM-free MultiFormat available worldwide without extra $2 surcharge in certain regions) directly from DANL anyway, even without a club membership as long you use the discover15 15% off coupon.

The big deal sale is setup worse then Kobo and Smashwords put together. It's not easy to sort this list the way you'd actually want to.

It is quite ugly to sift thru.

The $0.99c ones ion AMZN that are available @ DANL are $0.59 for members.
I think I paid for my membership last night.

But... this is a good thing, right? You got the books you wanted at least $0.40 cheaper each and DRM-free in multiple formats to work on both your readers and you got them directly from the publisher, who gets more royalties they can pass on to authors you want to support?

Now, if you're tempted by the more expensive books... I guess you can consider any you get subsidized by your 40-cent-per-purchase savings on the DANL ones?

Oh, yes. You're right ATD. $0.40 cheaper plus 15% off (discover15) so $0.50 a book & $0.49c savings.
Honestly, I'd rather send DANL my $$ anyway. And I do love the DRM free multiple formats.
15 books for $10.48. I love DANL. Thanks Bargain Romance thread!

Though, I was having a witch of a time getting them to display on my Kobo.
Ended up buying a microSD card & side loading. Wouldn't work any other way.

But let's face it, I'm a .99c addict. I just was hoping for a few more cheapies.
I guess 1400 e-books are not enough
I did see some $1.99 ones that intrigued me.

If you click on the "more than 400 kindle books" link on the main sale page, you can sort by genre in the page it takes you to. Still a bit unwieldy, but better than nothing!

You can sort by price and popularity as well, by clicking the price links in the description at the top or by scrolling down on the right side and clicking "See more popular $X.XX books".
