I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that when I post a book here in the Bargain Thread it is NOT a recommendation from me. It is merely a post about a book that is currently available at a frugal price-point. Nothing more than that. If I have a book recommendation I will post it in the recommendation thread.
Well said. I posted a book last month, and while doing so I thought to myself, "Man, I hope noone thinks I'm actually recommending this book." I was just posting it based on price alone.  |

I think if you read back through the threads there are many posters who post books just because they found a good price and they know that others on the board would like them, even if they would not. I have found some books in the vampire/wereworlf genre that I have posted, but I don't read. I personally appreciate any posts in the bargain thread, free books thread that someone else might have found that I missed.
Thanks to everyone for taking the time to post books you've found.

P.S. I just finished this book on my Kindle, and at $4.79 it was worth the price:  Thanks, just picked this one up. |

Now that I look at it, there are 157 collections of specific classical authors available for 99 cents each for the Kindle. To see the complete list, search for "single file".

Soul Identity
Author: Dennis Batchelder
Price: $0.99 IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Okay, it gets a bit weird here. The link above, which is currently 99 cents, does NOT contain a sample. However, there is a SECOND LISTING - for $4.79 - which DOES contain a sample. CLICK HERE FOR THE SAMPLE, but do NOT buy this version - either on Amazon or through your KindleI'm not sure if this is some kind of error or if the alternate 99 cent listing is a special deal of some sort (we've seen two listings for the same book when there's a freebie being given away). I got the sample for the $4.79 one and it seems identical to the final 99 cent version I bought. Description: You can't take it with you...but what if you could? Most people believe their souls outlive their bodies. Most people would find an organization that tracks their souls into the future and passes on their banked money and memories compelling. Scott Waverly isn't like most people. He spends his days finding and fixing computer security holes. And Scott is skeptical of his new client's claim that they have been calculating and tracking soul identities for almost twenty-six hundred years. Are they running a freaky cult? Or a sophisticated con job? Scott needs to save Soul Identity from an insider attack. Along the way, he discovers the importance of the bridges connecting people's lives. Review Excerpt: The author of Soul Identity presents a fascinating fantasy for his readers to contemplate and savour ... get ready for an entertaining, thought provoking and engaging read with plenty of action for the thrill seekers among you. I guarantee that even the most jaded reader will be hooked by page twenty.

I have lowered the price of my fantasy novel, Mighty Hammer Down to $.99 for a limited time. On March 1st, or after 50 copies are sold (whichever comes first), I will raise the price to $5.99It's an epic fantasy with an ancient Roman feel, and some political undertones. If you like Terry Goodkind, you will enjoy this book.  |

From the descriptions, these were uploaded one day apart (the .99 one is the one linked to the paperbook as the official version). The cheaper one may be in Topaz format (size only, no pages; the mobi version almost always shows how many "pages" there are). |

Hey, how did he get a pink one? He asked for it in return for writing them a book (which he initially turned down). It's a pretty ugly pink, though. |

Hey, how did he get a pink one? You haven't been seeing all the new ads for Sharpies? Amazing what you can do with them. |

Haha...I suppose you wasted $.60 my friend, but hopefully you'll find it was worth the original $1.59. EVERYONE,
If you'd like to hear a chapter in audio "Book on Tape" format, click here!http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mycmmvak4jzThe download is totally free, and a fun way to see if you'll like the story. By the way, Mighty Hammer Down hit a sales rating of 797 today. That means it's currently outselling about 239,000 books! Thanks to all of you who have purchased it! |

I purchased Mighty Hammer previously, but congrats on the stats!
The Stephen King book is a Novella and Kindle is in the plot (the pink kindle). He does have a Kindle; he's mentioned it in his Entertainment Weekly column. He also has a novel in the works that is about 1,000 pages. Not sure when that is coming out.
The cool thing about UR is it is ONLY for Kindle.

I could be wrong, but I don't think the 99 cent version is in Topaz format - unless the sample for the more expensive version (which seems identical) is also in Topaz. |

Edith Wharton is the best for anyone who loves 19th century writers. I highly recommend House of Mirth and Age of Innocence to start! |
