eReader book bargains

For anyone else who is collecting the Philippa Gregory Cousins War Series, The Kingmaker's Daughter and The Lady of the Rivers are 99p today (price matched by Amazon from the Sainsbury's ebook sale).

You may need to be quick, it might just be a one day price drop. I've just grabbed them :)

Also, for anyone who is interested in the C J Sansom Shardlake series, they are also all 99p today.

Tempting, but I think my husband might cut my credit card up if I buy those too :D

[Bionic Jean]

Not sure which thread it was, but someone recommended Susan Hill'sThe Small Hand as another good ghost story by her. Today it is 99p on Kindle.

I'm so pleased that Amazon is doing the price matching. I've only bought a couple, well so far that is!

[Jo]

Cloud Atlas is 99p today.

So is Tigers in Red Weather.

[Jo]

LOADS at 99p today....

[Chantal]

Wow that's a good selection Jo. And I'm kicking myself now as I bought quite a few of them when they were much more than 99p (!)

They've got The English Patient at 99p... Such an amazing book...

[Jo]

I've picked up Flight Behaviour and A Cupboard Full of Coats and am seriously pondering some Peter Carey

[Elizabeth]

I'm going to have to take a look on Amazon aren't I?

I listened to the audio version of A Cupboard Full of Coats earlier this year and thought it incredibly good. Very moving. Hope you like it too.

[Paul]

I dare not look!!

[Gill]

I'd recommend Flight Behavior, a bargain at 99p.

[Paul]

I looked!!! Can recommend this author:

[Elizabeth]

I bought The Hours, which I've been wanting to read for ages. Very pleased, because I missed it the last time it was reduced.

[Chantal]

Would recommend Pure which is an eerie pre-French revolution, beautifully written read.

Finger hovering over a Cupboard Full of Coats and Paul's one - have seriously gone over book-budget this month.

[Paul]

go for it!

[Jo]

The Stieg Larsson Millennium Trilogy are 99p each today on Kindle.

[Jo]

The Horologicon: A Day's Jaunt Through the Lost Words of the English Language 99p today.

In fact, loads of new ones, but that one stood out.

I can't resist!

Both of his books are excellent!

[Jo]

I seem to remember you talking about them before, I have them both on watch, and this one has price dropped, just waiting for the other one in due course.

[Agata]

Thanks, Jo, just bought it! The other one was a daily deal some weeks ago.

[Paul]

You'll have to now Jo!

[Elizabeth]

Looking on the Amazon kindle books page, there's a sale which started today, The Autumn Harvest Sale. Lots of books there but, fortunately for me, nothing appeals this time.

[Bionic Jean]

"Labyrinth" by Kate Mosse has just gone to 99p on Kindle

[Chatterjak]

You've just cost me 99p Jean! Or rather, saved me a couple of quid! Thank you!

[Chatterjak]

... Although I think I do have a paper copy of it already somewhere, but I've had them in storage so long I'm not sure anymore! Kindle it is then!

[Bionic Jean]

LOL - you are welcome, Chatterjack.

I have been trying to make out what your profile picture is. Cat? Rabbit? Dog? Monkey? Pair of gloves?

[Chatterjak]

Haha! It's one of my dogs, Suki, she's a beauty but it's really hard to get a good pic cos she's so black you can't make out her features very well! Also, I'm a terrible photographer & the camera on the iPad is abysmal!

[Bionic Jean]

Aaaah I see!

Nope, actually still can't see her. Never mind she looks very soft and silky. Give her a cuddle from me ;)

I have a beautiful (and very silly) brown labrador (my profile pic). They are very hard to photograph, I"m with you there. We took at least 30 photos to get this one good one.

[Bionic Jean]

My dog's the opposite - a white long-haired border collie. He has a tricolour (ie plus black and brown) mask, which makes him look very odd against the snow. Just a dog's head!

instructions on a heatwave 99p just bagged it!

Thanks for the tip, Dominic. Just got myself a copy :))

[Dominic]

yes I have been tracking for a while

[Elizabeth]

I read that last week. Hope you both enjoy it.

The Last Runaway by Tracy Chevalier is 99p today on Sainsbury's ebooks. If you have any kind of ereader other than a kindle then you can download. Kindles not compatible. Amazon has probably price checked it today though, not had a look yet.

[Jo]

Great tip Elizabeth. I already had the Last Runaway but because of the price matching of today's offers by Amazon, I got The Universe Versus Alex Woods for 99p for Kindle too, which I have been waiting ages for.

[Jen]

Download Calibre to convert an ebook into a mobi for Kindle :)

[Elizabeth]

If you like Peter James's novels, then today's the day! http://www.sainsburysebooks.co.uk/col...

[Jo]

And now price matched by Amazon.....

[Lisa]

Jen, does Calibre work for library eBooks? I imagine not as they are presumably copy-protected?

[Elizabeth]

The Secret History by Donna Tartt is 99p today - amongst this weekend's offering from Sainsbury's ebooks. Bound to be price-matched by Amazon. Also listed are two of Jennifer Worth's Call The Midwife books, and Miranda Hart's autobiography Is It Just Me?.

[Paul]

We Need to Talk about Kelvin: What Everyday Things Tell Us about the UniverseI worth reading for those with an interest in science

[Bionic Jean]

I love that title! :)

[Jo]

Lots to choose from on today's Kindle Daily Deals.

Also, a new concept of "Countdown Deals" has been introduced in the kindle book store. Certain books are discounted for a defined short period - they have an indicator of how much longer the book is available at the cheaper price. Hope the link works.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/b/ref=amb_lin...

[Bionic Jean]

Thanks so much for this link, Jo. I had learnt about this from Chris (Naylor, author, husband) from the author's side, but when he told me about it it was only on Amazon.com and not Amazon.co.uk, so I'm glad they've extended it.

I especially like the countdown clock, which tells you to the second how much longer you've got! I've sometimes been caught out by the Daily Deals by not knowing exactly when they'll stop.

And yes, your link works fine :)

[Chatterjak]

Oh dear, off to spend more money! ;)

Why is it when I search on my kindle none of these come up in daily deal? Yet if I search for a specific book, it will be at the offer price?

[Agata]

Stephens King's "The Green Mile" is 99p in kindle store.

[Lisa]

Yes, a few Kings are cheap, I got 'It' and Salem's Lot. For sometime. 'It' scared me senseless as a teen.

[Jo]

The Art of Hearing Heartbeats is 99p for Kindle (UK) today.
