Mini Shopoholic $1.49 epub [GEO RESTRICTED]

abookreader · 10-01-2010, 03:33 PM

For those who went on a Sophie Kinsella shopping spree last month and want to complete their collection -

https://www.ereadable.com/scripts/br...ref=0679603964

Please note, that I have to think this is a pricing error since this was just released 9/21 and everybody else is still at $9.99 or higher. I bought it and it downloaded fine into ADE.

I did report it to Amazon has somebody having a lower price but I doubt they'll match it and I don't know how long it will last on this site.

It's US only, too.

Thanks for posting this! I went on a sophie kinsella spree last month also. They were really smart to offer confessions of a shopaholic for 99cents....I was hooked so i bought the rest of the series (taking advantage of some of those kobobooks 2 dollar off coupons of course.)
I was just about to buy this at $1.49....I wonder why ereadable is able to offer it at such a lower price?

Gone now. Nothing else by Kinsella there (or the search engine is broken). Wonder if it was even a legal copy.

I think there was something wrong with their servers yesterday, they seemed rather slow. They actually have 3 Sophie Kinsella novels priced at 1.49, Twenties Girl, Confessions of a Shopaholic, and Mini Shopaholic. I bought them and they all downloaded just fine. The rest are all priced in the $6-7 range.

It seems to be back again this morning.

When I download the book I notice it comes from "lightening source" web address which says it is a part of the Ingram Group. Aren't the a pretty well known legal distributor of digital material?

Besides, they have geographical restrictions. It'd be kind of hilarious for somebody to put a pirated eBook out with geographical restrictions.

Ah, could have just been a server issue that I ran into. I still think someone fat-fingered the price (and the company may be quite upset when it sees it's sales figures on this one one).

Anyone know if this can be read in iBooks without any modification?

koland · 10-03-2010, 07:38 PM

Not likely, as it is drm'd epub and apple only supports it's own. TXTR should work, tho.

Thanks for your response!

So just out of curiosity I checked on the price of mini shopaholic today on ereadable.com....It is now 18.75! I wonder if the earlier price was promotional or an error? Either way I'm glad I bought it when I did!
