Oh, agreed that's definitely part of the issue, but exchange rate alone can't be responsible for variances like (to use one example) Sand and Stars, where it's $0.99 in the US, and $29.99 in Canada. We have always paid more than the US for most products, even after exchange is taken into account. We were still paying more for items back when our dollar was worth 10 cents more than theirs. It was something the media liked to go on and on about back at the time.
Desperate Hours is Amazon UK's Kindle deal of the day - £0.99! https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01MQ0N509/
So they are sold by S&S in all of these countries? I was wondering if maybe the different prices were because they were sold by other companies, but I guess that's not the case. The prices I posted all came from Google Play, and I also checked Barnes & Noble, and they have the prices to. They appear to be on all of the e-book retailers.
Hence this: (As you are replying to me, I already was aware you did that and I'm sure others are too.)
No might about it, clearly you did misunderstand (which is fine) as I did say "and other US sites" - I'm not going to requote myself again.
Sales have been crazy this year. I've built a massive backlog, and it keeps getting bigger. Works for me though, as it gives me plenty to read once the sales slow down (if they do, if they don't, well, guess I'll have a lifetime of books to read!)
For once it looks like you guys are actually getting a sale we aren't in the US. I checked Amazon and Google and it's full price on both sites.
Amazon appears to have jumped the gun on the first two books in The Fall series. They are already at 99 cents - two days early. Expect the others to follow by Monday. This deal should hopefully be available across all the platforms and nationalities. http://www.startrekbooks.com/c/ebookpromodecember2017
I noticed that changing the date in the bar just goes to an error page now. Either the people doing the sales got wise to us changing the title bar, or the big sales are over after January.
Just a quick follow-up to my post last week. As expected, all 5 novels in The Fall series are 99 cents now. I only checked Amazon U.S., but presume the other book sites followed suit. There are more sales on Amazon U.S., but unless it's requested, I won't post another list on here...
If you've got another list, I'd welcome it! I picked up 20 or so at a couple bucks each with your last list. I very much appreciate your posting!
Reviewed on 8 December. List behind spoiler to help avoid frustration from non-U.S. readers. Honestly, there doesn't appear to be many differences from the prior list in November...
