Thanks!

No, 50% off can't tempt me. Not with over 330 books in my TBR pile...

Shack70 · 04-07-2012, 08:03 AM

Thanks

HarryT · 04-07-2012, 08:03 AM

Can't you hear all those books whispering, "Buy me..."?

...but just a fewwwwww more can't hurt. Think of the heady feeling of "New Books!!" you will have...why do I suddenly feel like a drug pusher?

Oh that's a good one! Thanks!

They seem to increase the discount 5% at a time until it reaches 60%, then go back to 30% again, so it probably will go a little higher if you're prepared to wait another few weeks.

pdurrant · 04-07-2012, 10:48 AM

It's not quite that mechanical. But I would be surprised if there wasn't a 60% off sale sometime in the next six months

The last three have, however, been 40%, 45%, and 50%. I see a trend there

Fictionwise's anniversary is coming up in May, and that's probably when we'll get a 60%.

It looks like there's nothing in the weekly new releases that I particularly want to get/try before then, but there may be some sufficiently interesting things added on Monday.

And I notice that Marion Zimmer Bradley & Paul Edwin Zimmer's Hunters of the Red Moon, once yanked for KDP Select exclusivity on Amazon, is back as a new release this week and the FW system considers it a newly published book that I should re-buy, rather than an update to my existing purchased book.

But at least I can still re-download my old, original copy from FW and hopefully the 2 extra words listed as being the difference between the old word count and the new one aren't too significant, though I guess I'll be fixing any lingering typos myself instead of benefitting from the "removed from distribution elsewhere so we can fix errors in the meantime" disappearance.

Oh well, I guess this teaches me not to buy new things that are likely to be yanked for KDP and wait to see if they return and/or get yanked again before committing my money to a reasonably "final" fixed version, which will eventually also translate to my time if I have to DIY for that last bit.

I'm kind of tempted to start a thread in the Workshop for DIY error-fixing of backlist e-books, with what/where/what should be where and checks against the paper version, because it's starting to look like even if the author/publisher bothers to fix things, the reader may not be able to avail oneself of the fixes, if one is unfortunate enough to be a prior purchaser of a previous version.

Thank you for the coupon update - I picked up a few items from my wish list but sadly, it is NOT empty. Waiting on that 60% coupon to really clean-up. Have a great weekend.
