Never bought from Diesel before, but I see some good prices there, so I'll likely be buying a few...

There's quite a few good titles and I've just looked at the SF/Fantasy selection.

Yes, stay far far away if you have an ebook addiction. I just picked up several older titles that I've been meaning to check out. Danger, danger!

Bought a couple of books. I just noticed that some of Michael Moorcock's lesser known back catalog are being published (most outside the US by Orbit), but I picked up Warlord of the Air and The Land Leviathan at Diesel. Warlord of the Air is only pennies more expensive than Kobo with a 30% coupon (and I'll keep the coupon for later) and Kobo doesn't even have The Land Leviathan. Unfortunately, book 3 of this series, The Steel Tsar, comes out later this year. I haven't read some of Moorcock's stuff in years.

Diesel added 3000 more titles to the sale. If you're able, take a second look.

Hi Jim - that seems to happen to me when I try to buy a book not available in Canada. unfortunately, there isn't an error message when using Paypal, but you will get one if using a credit card.

I didn't press the PayPal button again, I pressed the continue button but it took me back to PayPal again. Anyway I used my credit card and that worked fine. I'll look for the process order button next time.
