    The UK trek deals are live now.

    There are a bunch of Star Wars ebooks too at 2p and 4p on sale in the uk too looks like half price at 8p too.

    Great deals all around :)

    Are we not getting these sales in Canada anymore? Or is Kobo just being slackers?

    I think (hope!) Kobo is just being slow. The deals are available on Amazon Canada for Kindle readers, so it doesn't seem to be a country-based exclusion.

    Kobo has also appeared to have suspended its Daily Deal while it focuses on BLM, so perhaps the Trek sale delay is related to that?

    Well I hope they put them up for sale soon. I want to at least get Dead Endless.

    @DeepSpaceYorks sorry I meant to be more clear. I was looking to see if the UK trek deals were live and checked on Star Wars ebooks as well. There are still lots of Star Wars ebooks at 2p and 4p starting with Darth Plagueis on Amazon UK. But I digress I wish S&S with Trek and even Random House with Star Wars took the same chances with different ebooks on sale, as the imprint in the UK has done on Amazon UK. They used to.

    At 2 and 4p it seems half price than 8p regular price. Am I right.

    @Avro Arrow I would hope that you could have both observing BLM and the Trek deals at the same time. I’m all for equality. :)

    All the best all,
    Koric

    Darth Plagueis is £1.99 on Amazon UK, that's a little bit more than two pence...

    The inclusion of Dead Endless and The Last Best Hope make me leery of paying full price for Trek books going forward.

    Hey everyone,

    It was late and I didnt mean to be a twit. I guess I mixed my pounds and pence and dollars and sense. I'm sorry, I meant no offense. But there are some great discounts on ebooks on Amazon UK right now, missing on Amazon US too.

    Just a heads up,

    yeah...I still will, but those books didn't come out *that* long ago.

    Glad more people will read them, anyway. (presumably)

    Sisko is a black captain in Starfleet so you think they'd be on sale by now? Kobo Canada is like the only store that doesn't have them up and the only place i can buy the e-books.

    They've sent a couple emails about other sales this past week, so some markdowns are still going on, apparently. I'm not really sure why the Trek sale prices aren't in effect yet. I'm also hoping that they implement the sale prices before the month is over.

    Comixology has marked down almost all of their Trek comics, both the individual issue and the collections. I searched everything that came up when I searched Star Trek, and the only thing I noticed that wasn't marked down is the facsimile edition of Code of Honor, which just came out last week.

    "Facsimile"? Are you saying they did an adaptation of... Code of Honor??? :wtf:

    FWIW, I tried a search on Comixology for "Code of Honor", and none of the results were Star Trek-related, so I'm not really sure what you're referring to here.
