mistake or not, I grabbed it - Amazon is really good about honoring prices if there are goof-ups
Yeah, it might not be an error. It could be their publisher really trying to capitalize on all the new Kindle sales.
I had liked the first one and bought it for $5 but held off on the other two books. This price for all 3 is amazing.
I think the mistake is having a list price for the set that is $54.00 when you can buy them separately for under $20.00. Hmmm..... Less than $5 is fantastic!

I'd get it if I didn't already have them. Amazon had a promotion on the Lady Gaga album when it came out, the entire thing was 99 cents. I guess because soo many people were purchasing it, they had a lot of technical issues. I emailed them when I couldn't get all the songs to download (they did eventually) to report the problem. a few days later I got an email from Amazon, they apologized and gave me a $5 Amazon credit! I was pretty dang happy.

I had a friend of mine set his Kindle on top of is car and break it when he drove off, and they still replaced it.
I just checked it and it's back to $17.85. I would have grabbed it at the $4.38 price even though my daughter and I already read it due to the fact that we borrowed the books and I have two other kids that will want to read them someday. :(
yeah i just saw the price went back up. I wonder if the under $5 price was a mistake?
Yeah, party's over. Maybe there'll be some kind of news story about it. I'd be interested to know what the deal was.--Jason
Was it ever on sale, or was it just a mistake?
It was on $4.38. I seen it a few hours ago at that price.
Niki wrote: "Was it ever on sale, or was it just a mistake?"The mystery is still out, though I suspect they did this on purpose. Everyone who bought the new Kindles had access to those devices on their accounts already, so why not add a popular title they already had the print books for? Or one that they'd heard about and knew was good?
I snapped it up. I had put off buying it.I personally think this is a tactic to get people checking amazon for deals more often. I know I have been checking a lot since they started the daily deal.

I saw it and I missed it..Lesson learned, get it on the day YOU SEE IT! sigh...
Yeah, I think Amazon is conditioning us all into becoming compulsive shopaholics.
I agree Jason..LOL I think so too! and mine I am trying my best NOT to do that!
