Amazon seems to have come up with a new way to reward Kindlers (or entice them to try new authors). In addition to free books, they have been marking books at
$1.00 for a short period of time (unannounced, so you have to luck into finding these, as the advanced search facilities are somewhat poor for the Kindle catalog). Yesterday it was Nicholas Sparks'
The Rescue
and at least three were marked down today.
The Letter of the Law by Tim Green has already gone back up to $3.99 (still a bargain price), but
Missing, by Sharon Sala and
Suspicious, by Heather Graham are currently
$1.00 each. Make sure you double check the confirmation email you receive after the purchase - some people have seen the lower price on screen, but been charged the full price when the sale ended while they were viewing the book description (so far, this has happened on
The Rescue and
Flood
, which went from Free to $2.95 to today's $5.59). These sales end quick - if you think you might be interested, don't read the sample first at these prices, just one-click them onto your bookshelf (you'd spend this much on gas to run to the library or bookstore).
