ah, trying to get a few more readers hooked before book 4 is released in march. i'd say it's a good series for those into ms. bishop's other writing that will feel familiar but with a new world, a more modern one than the black jewel and ephemera novels.

"That reminds me of a little game I play, in one of the shops the shopkeeper welcomes you saying "Only today! Items which are usually priced at 120% are discounted by 20%!""
While this seems like a joke at first - do the math. 20% discount on an item at 120% of the original price ends up costing 96% of the original price - so there is actually a discount here... Rich |

Did you find that on this pre-release, Amazon asked for a credit card (with no charge added, since the price is 0), even though the ebook itself is free? I don't recall it working like this before. |

It's been like that for a while, but I've never had any trouble with them charging me when they shouldn't.

I have a credit card on my Amazon account that gets plenty of activity, so I didn't have this problem.

The "pre-release" may have triggered this logic even for a free item or they may want address verification if your account has never has a credit/debit card attached. |

AFAIK Amazon has always required a CC if the order was a pre-order, or at least I remember the question coming up here a few years ago.
