Anyone else get this offer from Amazon?

Since it appears all the selections (at least, those of interest to me) are free reads for Kindle Unlimited and/or Amazon Prime members, I chose:

The Long Road Home (The Motorcycle Chronicles Series Book 3)
by Roan Poulter
Kindle Price $2.99

ReadingManiac · 10-21-2018, 10:54 AM

These Amazon deals never have anything I like the look of enough to part with money.

Never?
Ever?

The occasional Amazon "Big Deal" offers (which show up around once a week) often offer a complete series (or a large part of a series) at a low price. I've bought hundreds of books that way over the years. I bought the whole of the "Sharpe" series, for example, at 99p a book, compared to their normal price of £6 a book.

I second this, I love this site! It has scaled down my impulse buying of books I'll never actually read. I just add books I want to the list and when they drop by a certain percentage or get to a certain price I snatch it up.

loshavka · 10-22-2018, 11:39 AM

Do you have this book in German: Saving Grace - Bis dein Tod uns scheidet?
Mobi, epub, pdf?

HarryT · 10-22-2018, 11:47 AM

I do hope you're not asking for copyrighted material. If you were to be so foolish as to do so it would result in your immediate and permanent ban from this site.

Sometimes the free books on Amazon are a good move on Amazon's part. 4-5 years ago, I got Robin Hobb's "Assassin's Apprentice" for free. I have since bought 8 subsequent books at full price, cuz that one was so good! Good move, Robin Hobb's publisher!

GtrsRGr8 · 10-23-2018, 06:13 PM

First, a disclaimer: I don't like most works of fiction; therefore I know almost nothing about them (except what I was force-fed in high school and college. Grrrrr!).

But I thought that I would pass this along to you, and let you be the judges:

eBook Special! Hundreds of Literature Titles only 79¢ - Limited Time!

Dover Thrift Editions always offer the lowest price — and now they are even more affordable. We've slashed the prices on eBooks for dozens of our very best titles, so you can enjoy classic works by Shakespeare, Twain, Joyce, Dickens, Austen, and other masters for just 79¢ each. Order now, these outstanding savings won't last long.

Well, "slashed" might be . . . how shall I say this diplomatically . . . possibly overstating the case a bit. It looks like all of the volumes may be ordinarily 99 cents each. But the ones that I noted are all regularly 99 cents each, so you get 20% off. That's nothing to sneeze at.

There are exactly 329 of these ebooks on sale, if I counted correctly (that may be Dover's entire catalog of their Thrift Editions, I dunno).

Yes, it looks like many, if not all, of the ebooks, are available for free from a number of vendors, including Amazon. But, these Dover Thrift Editions have prettier covers.

And, there might be other advantages; I just don't know.

The downside is that if you purchase the book from, say, Amazon, instead of Dover you might be able to buy audio narration to many of these ebooks, and that probably rather cheaply. But I spot-checked, and Amazon does not offer Audible narration on all of the titles, to say the least.

The linky.

Didn't I tell you about Ereaderiq? :P

I've got 5 pages of list on there for bargains. It's great when I get an email.

Ok so once they tripped me up with a Neil Gaiman for .99 once. Usually it's too much of the populist crap I can't be bothered with. You would think their algorhytm would take a hint from my purchases, but maybe it looks at the free ones which I'm less picky about.

Another good reason to only get freebies that you would have bought.
