Public Service Announcement
This is as much for me as for y'all. I got a Kindle for my birthday. Love the thing more than words can say. I mean it is seriously one of the greatest inventions since beer, Reese's Cups, and iTunes. However, like with most new things, there are always questions that pop up.
The main one I hear is why are Ellora's Cave books SO expensive on Amazon. I'm not going to lie to you–they are WAY expensive. It has something to do with honoring contracts and giving Amazon their HUGE cut. However, did you know you don't have to buy EC books from Amazon in order to get them on your Kindle? Just pop over to the EC website, www.jasminejade.com and buy the .prc (Mobipocket) version. Plug in your USB and drag the thing on to your Kindle. If you buy the books directly from Ellora's Cave, you'll pay nearly a third less what you'd pay on the Amazon site. For example, Sugar and Spice will cost you $7.12 from Amazon, but only $4.45 at EC.
I'm always looking for the best deal and as far as EC books, buying directly from the site is the way to go. Ellora's Cave has a page on their website dedicated to telling readers which format to buy for each reader. I thought I'd share the link with you.
Okay…I'd like to act like I'm just naturally this smart, but Jayne Rylon explained this to me this morning and showed me the link. Got so excited, I wanted to share!

I want an ereader and someone said to hold out til after Christmas, go into Sony and you can prob get an open box one for half the price...(prob the only way I could afford one lol)
the only reason I used to get my EC books from Amazon and not JJ was because I had archives on Amazon, and JasmineJade only kept record of your order for 5 days...so if you were an idiot like me and put them on the kindle and then erased them without backing them up...but now that they keep a bookshelf, i'll probably start using them more
Oh--hey, good point. I forgot to mention that EC has added a library. I love that new feature!
me too! and I think they have orders going back at least the last 6 months (IIRC)...Mari wrote: "Oh--hey, good point. I forgot to mention that EC has added a library. I love that new feature!"
I went back to take a peek and I have it showing my orders from as far back as 2 years ago. It will also let me download the books again in a different format. Very cool since I used to read in .pdf on laptop and I now read in .prc on Kindle. Hee hee--I may have to write a new public service announcement with all this stuff you've just helped me figure out! Thanks!
also try emailing your pdf's to amazon (kindlename@kindle.com) - I think or @free.kindle.com and they were convert pdf's to .prc so you don't have to read the pdf's and you can adjust the font size
