    Stories of your Life and Others is one I'd definitely recommend.
    Thanks! Just got "Revenger" (Alastair Reynolds). :)

    Ok, I just purchased all 10 for £26.60.

    I had to purchase them individually with one click.

    Each time I bought one, the site would offer the next one for £2.99. Go figure.

    I just hit the back button and refreshed the list of 10 books (link above) and was able to buy the next for £2.66.

    A small saving, but hey :D

    You basically got one free, so not bad! I bought 3 of them, still trying to figure out if I already read State of the Art :P

    Thank god! A ebook deal that I didn't buy to not read it.


    I've bought so many of these but never get around to most of them. I think the only time I will, will be in a post apocalyptic world where I can charge my kindle by scavenging batteries for my emergency mobile charger.
    A post apocalyptic works that arose from a dystopian future where all printed books and dressers (ereaders too and all becuase of autocorrect) were burnt but my kindle survived because I forgot were I put it.

    From the fantasy section there. I really enjoyed The city and the city. Well worth a punt though more off-beat crime sci-fi than fantasy.

    The Caves of Steel - Issac Asimov $1.96

    It's a shame The Naked Sun is $7 and the Robots of Dawn is unavailable. Are there any sfi-fi websites selling Asimov ebooks other than Amazon as a lot of his books (ebooks) are unavailable.

    Have you a link for that? I can't find it. I've a .com account so I have to click into each book individually to see if the deal carries over

    EDIT: Found it

    And now the sequel is just £0.87 amongst other deals here, including 'Gardens of the Moon'.
    I've got a good few of those I'd be interested in but might pick up the sequel to "Old Man's War" despite still not having read the first book...

    Very entertaining in a popcorn eating, sitting on the sofa kind of way, recommended. Scalzi has become my go to author if I just want to chill without having to put too much effort in. Great to have around on the kindle when another book is becoming too much of a mind-melt.

    It's easy enough to setup an account on the Kobo US store.
    If you download Calibre to PC/Laptop you can convert Kindle books to work on your Kobo.
