Buying from Amazon these days is a faff - I have to download on an old computer, copy the file to iCloud before loading into Calibre and converting. Far simpler to purchase from Kobo. Amazon is a last resort if I cannot find it anywhere else (certain small publishers only sell on Amazon as they don't want to manage epub as well as Kindle and the epub sales aren't worth the effort). This is an issue for new releases as I can't download. |

Also there is KU / KDP Select, which is terrible for limiting retail to one company. The KU exclusive "contract" "mysteriously" doesn't apply to large publishers.

If you don't want to buy from Amazon and/or you want eBooks in ePub, some Susan Cooper eBooks are available for £0.99 at eBooks.com UK. You can travel to the UK and use PayPal to get these.

There's no "mystery" about it. It's a come-on. I agree that it's a wee bit duplicitous as HP is hardly typical of KU fare, but ultimately it works in favor of the self-pubbed. The carp alone wouldn't be enough to get many people to sign on, without the occasional carrot.

And Put Away Childish Things by Adrian Tchaikovsky $1 on the publisher's web store.
Regional restrictions may apply. Novella. Was on my wishlist. Narnia what-if. Quote:

For a moment I confused that with a Mike Jeferries series, Loremasters of Elundium, but the 1st in that is "The Road to Underfall", not Underhill. There is a reverse Narnia, i.e. four fairy kids end up in Belfast. Not generally available. Not bought off Rebellion Publishing before, but it worked to Ireland with download in final page as mobi or epub. The epub looks OK on Calibre viewer. Used a virtual Revolut card (I'm a cheapskate so never bought the plastic). Last edited by Quoth; 03-04-2024 at 09:13 AM. |
