The Steel Beach by John Varley is $1.99 - Amazon.com - all I know about it is the famous first sentence.
Thanks. I'd heard of Steel Beach, but never read much about it. Sounds interesting. I picked it up.

Isn't it weird that Steel Beach's cover is a very bad scan of the paperback? What's up with that? It looks terrible. Even on Penguin's own site this is the official cover.

And Steel Beach sounds like an '80's synth-pop band. I'd probably enjoy their music

That's a new low even by modern-day crappy book cover standards.

It is indeed. Especially when even a quick google search turns up a much better version of (very nearly) the same cover!

Yeah, I wound up using that as the cover. Though the author's name will be unreadable on my reader. Still, better than what the publisher offered up.

This Alien Shore, by CS Friedman, is on sale at Amazon for $1.99.

I don't think I've read this particular book, but Friedman is an author I really enjoy. I grabbed this and am looking forward to reading.

That's a shame, but you can have an account for another country and switch the address to ca. Sales happen across all the stores unless it's a countdown.

Seven Forges by James A Moore is $0.99 at Amazon US.

Quote:
Captain Merros Dulver is the first in many lifetimes to find a path beyond the great mountains of the Seven Forges and encounter, at long last, the half-forgotten race who live there. And it would appear that they were expecting him. But when he returns home, an entourage of strangers in tow, he starts to wonder if his discovery is truly something to celebrate—for the gods of this lost race are the gods of war, and their memories of that far-off cataclysm have not faded.

The people of Fellein have lived with the legends of the Blasted Lands for many centuries. Lying far to the north, the Lands are a desolate, impassable place—the legacy of an ancient time of cataclysm. But even the dangers of the Blasted Lands cannot stop the occasional expedition into its fringes, where people search for any trace of the ancients and oft-rumored riches that once lived there.

I have to disagree. About 15% of the times I've seen a book that I am interested in priced from $2.99 down to free on Amazon.com and on Amazon.ca, it's still at full price. Ditto for sales that show Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk sales prices. This makes ereaderiq rather useless to a Canadian.
