On the other hand, they got where they are in part due to failed collusion and incompetence from their competitors. And it has been undeniably good for indie authors and those authors who got their rights reverted. |

Read an Ebook Week Bargains at Smashwords
It's Read an Ebook Week at Smashwords, and there are a *lot* of SF and fantasy stories on sale. It's overwhelming. So I'm looking for suggestions from other readers. The bargains range from free to as much as 75% off. There are also deals on boxed sets.
Does anyone have recommendations from the Science Fiction or Fantasy category on Smashwords? I might be partial to space operas and to some military SF. In fantasy, I like it all, even the romantic ones. I also like swords & sorcery (and sometimes grimdark), but they don't have specific categories for those.

Some Andre Norton collections appear to be on sale today.
Witch World: High Hallack Cycle is $5.99, and includes The Jargoon Pard, Zarsthor's Bane, The Crystal Gryphon, Gryphon in Glory, and Horn Crown. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GQLD8TX Along with that, The Magic Sequence Volume Two is also on sale $3.99, and includes Dragon Magic, Lavender-Green Magic, and Red Hart Magic. I have not read any of Mrs. Norton's books, but I feel like I should. Maybe I will start with one of the free ones available from Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/star-soldiers https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/time-traders |

Activation Degradation by Marina J. Lostetter is $3 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)
Getting a lot of comparisons to Murderbot, including in the blurb, but some say it's different enough. Quote:
