Thank you I’ve bought it. I might use the dictionary a lot for this one. It will also be the occasion to reactivate word wise

For those that don't know it, did you know there are SIX books in this SERIES? I didn't even know it was a series having only read Shogun years ago (I think I was 15 or 16).

Buyer beware. I already owned this in kindle format and Amazon didn't warn me. This is happening more and more often. I really have to check my book list EVERY time because you really cannot count on Amazon to warn you. They used to... but no more.

Thanks for the heads up. So, if you buy a book that you already have, do you end up with _two_ in your library???? It seems that just recently Amazon wouldn't _allow_ a customer to have more than one copy! |

I am still getting notices if I try to purchase an eBook again. I had one just the other day.

FWIW, if you discover that you bought a book again, Amazon Customer service has been good about refunding one of them if you bought both through Amazon.

Any ebook can be returned within a week of purchase through the content and devices page, no need to contact CS. It's probably best not to pull that too often, but it's easy enough to undo a mistake (very helpful when a random touch has one-click purchased a book.)

The problem comes when a publisher relists the book, perhaps there's a new introduction or what-have-you. The ISBN changes and to Amazon, that's a new book. I thought Shōgun went on sale just recently. I checked all my Kindle books and didn't have any by James Clavell, so I'm glad this was spotted. |
