E-Book Pricing Alerts

I'm seeing The Weight of Worlds, A Choice of Catastrophes, and Shadows on the Sun for $1.99. I am not sure if that is their regular price or if they are part of February's promotion. Warpath and The Lost Years remain at their $1.99 price.

 

Pretty underwhelming month if that's all there is.

 

We are technically still in January until something like Feb. 4th on their promotional cycle, so there could easily be others out there. I was just looking on Amazon's site, which is sometimes the last to update anyway.

 

I feel like those have been at that price for a while. Like over a month.

 

Yeah, all three of those have been $1.99 for over two years straight.

 

I got Shadows on the Sun for $1.99 quite a while back, but I still haven't gotten around to reading it.

 

I don't normally read TNG but I'm tempted by Cold Equations. Is it good?

 

^^ I read Cold Equations when first published and, to be honest, I can't remember much about them. I wasn't disappointed in them, but I do recall thinking Immortal Coil (the book that Cold Equations is a kind of sequel to) was better.

Coincidental, perhaps, to episode 2 of Picard, Amazon UK have Asimov's "I, Robot" (and the original Foundation trilogy) on offer today only.

 

Humblebundle.com has a Star Trek comic book bundle now. I bought the whole bunch for $15.

 

Two of its three volumes made the New York Times bestseller list, so there's that to consider.

 

There’s no longer a link to the sales page at startrekbooks.com. Looking like this is the end of the road for the sales...

 

I wasn’t going to get the Picard book at regular price. But for $3.99 yes I pre-ordered it.

Yeah looks to me like no other sales. Sad but at least I have lots of star trek e-books to read.

 

All good things ....

I'd like to thank everyone involved for the past few years of monthly sales, it's been great and bolstered my book collection. I'm sure we will see more sales even if they aren't monthly. Til than, plenty of other books out there, even if I'm only picking up one or two Trek books a month.

 

Seems a real shame to bring the sales to an end and just as the Trek profile is higher than its been for years. Still, I've got a massive backlog of books to catch up on.

 

Perhaps S&S/Pocket want to see what people will buy at regular price during the first season of Picard and then reintroduce the sales if they feel it is warranted.

 

Sales that Simon & Schuster are going to lose. I imagine, that a lot of folks will simply go back to buying older books used at places like Half-Price Books for two or three bucks, versus paying six to ten dollars for digital versions on places like Amazon.

 

I love my Star Trek books but I just ain't gonna buy a single one at £6.99 or whatever. However, I will more than happily spend £7 pounds on seven books. Oh well, it was good while it lasted. I'm not complaining and I'm definitely not angry, that's just how it is.

 

I'm sad to the see sales ending, but I'm not surprised, they lasted a lot longer than I expected.
