Of course, you may also list the book in your Avatar and signature. Thanks! Ann & Betsy Book Bazaar Moderators *'bargain' generally means under $5. . .but, buyer beware: prices can change without notice so look before you click! |

 Excellent adventure for 4.99. Paid full price in hardcover long ago and it was worth it.  2/3s of the way through. Good, not great, but also down to .99 |

Those of you who've bought Vicious, let us know if you liked it! I'm tempted, but I'm trying not to use up my latest gift card to fast!

I just bought this one, haven't read it but it looks good. $7.99 for what sounds like a lengthy trilogy.  |

I'm reading The Walk at only $1.40  The Walk is a disaster-type story - not quite as much End of the World as End of L.A. |

Thanks Sharyn for changing the link - these are the same books I show below Quick question: in the future, is that how I should post any bargin finds by linking to Amazon? I wasn't aware that KB got credit if it came through here? I want to make sure that I set up links properly, so KB will get credit. Thanks for the response.  |

KindleBoards gets a small percentage from all Amazon sales derived from KB links EXCEPT for Kindle books--Amazon changed the policy on that a bit ago. However, the KindleBoards links have two advantages--if you are able to use the LinkMaker, it is VERY easy to create a link for most books AND if you go on to buy something else on Amazon, such as a paper book or an accessory, KB DOES get credit.
As for posting links, the important thing is to post your bargain finds! If you can't get the LinkMaker to work, post those bargains however you can!!!

Neekeebee-- For the purposes of this thread, we define Bargain as under $5...since the one you posted isn't even close, I'm going to split it out into its own thread, and I'll fix the link. Thanks for understanding! Edit: Here's the link to Neekeebee's book recommendation: http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php/topic,10824.0.htmlBetsy |

Interestingly, Vicious is now $3.99. What's really odd is the pricing; from the Amazon store: "Digital List Price: $1.99 Kindle Price: $3.99 & includes wireless delivery via Amazon Whispernet" Boy, what a steal! I can get a $1.99 book for only $3.99! I think I'll pass on this one for now. |

I'll put Amazon links to them .... (Sorry, I don't know how to line them up next to each other so they don't take up so much room. Any mod who can is welcome to edit this post and do so.) For anyone who wants to have their book links line up next to each other (we recommend this in most cases to make the posts easier to read), after putting in the link to the book, instead of hitting the ENTER key to move to the next line, just put 2-3 spaces after the link: [really long multi-line link] [another really long multi-line link] [last really long multi-line link] Betsy |
