I noticed some of my "to-be-read" books are now $5...."The Hunger Games", "Water for Elephants", "Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet", and "Drowning Ruth". Is this a temporary Christmas special and has anyone found any others? Or is this the now normal price? I wasn't sure so I bought some.

Borders sent out an email yesterday listing some great new releases at $5 each. I was hoping Amazon would match them but when I checked last night they were unchanged. Maybe Amazon has caught up and done a price match?

Thanks for that link! I picked up a couple. Borders sale goes through the end of the year at least, I believe, so I would guess Amazon would match that.

I had already bought and read several of these but snagged several more at this price.

I accidentally stumbled on this myself today! There are some major titles going pretty cheap.

Picked up Water for Elephants. Been interested in checking that one out for a while and the 5 dollar price was too low to resist.

Thanks for the heads up!
I have been kicking myself not for getting Stieg Larsson's books before the agency model pricing so I snapped up the first two. I also snagged the $5.00 Highlander books. I downloaded a bunch of samples and am going thru them and have bought The Hunger Games.

Vlad is back, and this time he's hungry. I mean, really hungry. I could explain the plot of this one, but I think I'm going to eat, instead. Steven Brust's synopsis of Druz.

I bought all the Outlander books that were $5. I already have the first one from when it was free so I now have five out of the seven. Too bad Amazon doesn't have the other two for $5 or I would have the whole series.

Does anyone know how long this sale is going to last?

I picked up Water for Elephants on Saturday after seeing a preview for the new movie while at the theater.

It looks like $5 could be the new eBook price point for major titles -- a "sweet spot" for eBook prices.
