Hardcover Price War Spill Over to Kindle Prices

By now, most everyone has heard of the price war between Walmart.com and Amazon.com for pre-orders of hardcover books (and it looks like Target.com is joining the fray). Now, the prices have spilled over into the Kindle prices and you can pre-order upcoming books from bestselling authors, such as First Lord's Fury, by Jim Butcher (November 24, 2009), for $9.00 and have them wirelessly delivered the instant they are released (that beats even the same day delivery Amazon offers only in select cities).

Book Description
For years he has endured the endless trials and triumphs of a man whose skill and power could not be restrained. Battling ancient enemies, forging new alliances, and confronting the corruption within his own land, Gaius Octavian became a legendary man of war-and the rightful First Lord of Alera.

But now, the savage Vord are on the march, and Gaius must lead his legions to the Calderon Valley to stand against them-using all of his intelligence, ingenuity, and furycraft to save their world from eternal darkness.


Of course, that isn't the only book included in the sale (although it is one I've already ordered; remember, if the price drops further before it releases, you get the lowest price, while the price will probably pop back up to $9.99 once it is released). I also see Ice, by Linda Howard, I, Alex Cross, by James Patterson (November 16, 2009), Breathless, by Dean Koontz (November 24, 2009.), and Kindred in Death, by J.D. Robb (November 3, 2009), all for $9.00. You can click HERE to see if any new books pop up on the list. The pre-orders are all at the top of the list and I've included anything from $8 to $9 with at least a 40% discount from list, so you'll find other books in that list, such as the recently released Tommyland ($8.93), by Tommy Lee.
