David Eddings USA ebooks back
The Belgariad ebooks are back finally in the US kindle store. Still waiting for the other series. If you want them buy quick before they disappear. Again.

You can even buy the 5 book set rather than buy the individual books.

It wasn’t very clear as Amazon tends to call their Kindle omnibus as sets as well. For example: George R. R. Martin's A Game of Thrones 5-Book Boxed Set (Song of Ice and Fire Series): A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast for Crows, and A Dance with Dragons Kindle Edition |

Partly I think they figure some of their customers would be too stupid to know the word 'omnibus' |

Alas, not in Canada. Neither amazon.ca or kobo.com have anything other than audiobooks.

I found something that doesn't make sense. In the preview of the eBook, there is a link to the publisher. Click on the cover link on the publisher website and it goes to an entry that shows hardcover and paperback and the cover shows in the same as the on the publisher website. The eBook has a completely different cover (awful photos and terrible fonts).
So, is this eBook legit? Last edited by JSWolf; 06-23-2020 at 03:45 PM. |

When I click on the Spectrum Literary Agency link in the ebook, it takes me to the David Eddings page set up by the agency. Finding the first book in the series (under discussion), it then takes me to Amazon. I'm then given two choices: Kindle or Mass Market Paperback. When I click on 'Kindle,' I'm shown the current ebook with (as you state), the awful [cover/photo].
This is the new ebook edition. Last edited by Dr. Drib; 06-23-2020 at 05:29 PM. |

It seems these are exclusive to Amazon and that sucks. There is no way I would buy them until they stop this crap and release them to other shops. |

^ That's what I do on any cover that I don't like.
