Discounted E-Book Pricing Thread

The Eriksons, Esslemont and Weeks are also on sale on the Nook. I bought them all

The trouble with E-books is shopping is too easy and if you get good deals and they are cheap you just keep getting more, and more and more... But it really has expanded my reading.

Map of Bones: A Sigma Force Novel by James Rollins

Free Today on Kindle.

I haven't read Rollins but from the blurb and the other blurbs in the series it looks like these are at least tinged with the supernatural.

For those in the UK I saw that Mark Lawrence's Prince of Thorns for £1.99 which sounds like a "sale" to me, although it might be a standard price for a kindle version of paperback in that part of the world.

**Loerwyn** · July 26th, 2012, 09:48 AM

The standard is £4.99, or thereabouts.

Oh thanks for letting me know - so I guess it does qualify as a discounted book.

**Loerwyn** · July 26th, 2012, 10:22 AM

It's 25% of the price of the MMPB edition, so yup.

Amazon UK, for once, has some offers. There's a weird offer thing going on if you spend above £10 you earn incremental giftcards or something, but I'll ignore that.

Genre bargains I spotted:
The Mammoth Book of Steampunk - £0.99
The Mammoth Book of Nebula Awards SF - £0.99
Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch - £1.99
The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie - £1.99 (I highly recommend this)
The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks - £1.99

Review'A wonderfully and meticulously detailed world, and an edge-of- the-seat plot, this book is a must for all lovers of good fantasy' JENNIFER FALLON

Product Description

"We should expect this young woman to be more powerful than our average novice, possibly even more powerful than the average magician."

This year, like every other, the magicians of Imardin gather to purge the city of undesirables. Cloaked in the protection of their sorcery, they move with no fear of the vagrants and miscreants who despise them and their work—until one enraged girl, barely more than a child, hurls a stone at the hated invaders . . . and effortlessly penetrates their magical shield.

What the Magicians' Guild has long dreaded has finally come to pass. There is someone outside their ranks who possesses a raw power beyond imagining, an untrained mage who must be found and schooled before she destroys herself and her city with a force she cannot yet control.
