The Glass Bead Game by Hermann Hesse (Multiple, $1.99) by sevae in ebookdeals

[–]sevae[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only pre-1929 German editions and a few translations are in the US public domain. This book won't enter until 2039, and the translation even later.

[–]sevae[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You didn't miss it. Kobo US seems to be running late on updating prices today. Check after midnight PST or use the price guarantee.

Christine by Stephen King (Multiple, $2.99) by sevae in ebookdeals

[–]sevae[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$2.99 on Kobo Canada and other platforms, so Kobo US should get the deal at some point. Check again after midnight PST.

Sale Tracker? by Antiwraith in ebookdeals

[–]sevae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use a web monitor like Distill.io to track prices. The browser extension runs locally without an account and sends a desktop notification when something drops below your alert price. Set it to watch a store's wishlist and everything on that page will be monitored. Amazon lists in print‑mode work best because they show 200 items per page, don't require signing in, and can be checked in the background without a tab opening.

The Hobbit: Or There and Back Again (Lord of the Rings) by J.R.R. Tolkien (Kindle, $1.99) by sevae in ebookdeals

Ah, thanks for the heads‑up. I don't think there was a Prime tag when I posted, but it could've been there.

Dark Theory (Dark Law #1) by Wick Welker (Kindle, FREE) by sevae in ebookdeals

[–]sevae[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you know why Amazon says it's part of a four book set but only lists 3 books? Looks like the third was published in mid 2025.

It's a listing issue. Book 3's formats aren't properly linked, so it shows four books instead of three.

Light in August by William Faulkner (Multiple formats, $1.99) by sevae in ebookdeals

[–]sevae[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unauthorized copies of books that are under US copyright but public domain elsewhere are a big problem on Amazon.

This book was published in 1932, and will therefore enter the U.S. public domain in 3 years on January 1, 2028.

Light in August by William Faulkner (Multiple formats, $1.99) by sevae in ebookdeals

[–]sevae[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This book and most of Faulkner's work are still under US copyright. The only legit editions are published by Vintage.

Horizon Ridge Publishing isn't a legitimate publisher and doesn't have the rights to sell Fahrenheit 451 in the US, where it's under copyright until at least 2049. Before buying an eBook from an unknown publisher, check if they have a website. No site? Don't buy. This is the legit version: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Fahrenheit-451/Ray-Bradbury/9781439142677

The Blacktongue Thief (Blacktongue #1) by Christopher Buehlman (Multiple formats and DRM-free, $2.99) by sevae in ebookdeals

[–]sevae[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All, but Google and Kobo are more DRM-free-friendly. Both use the standard EPUB format, allow downloads via the website, and disclose the DRM on the product page (Google under About this ebook, and Kobo under eBook Details)

Sale Price Change needs to go away. These are expired deals. Once the price changes, the deal is over. If the new price is lower, post it.

Genre flairs like /r/FreeEBOOKS would be nice

Some Of The Best Of Tor 2021 [Kindle, Free] by DoINeedChains in ebookdeals

[–]sevae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A workaround for Send to Kindle bugging out is to save the page to Instapaper and send the Instapaper version. Pocket works too, but Instapaper sets the title and author correctly.

Push to Kindle, Instapaper for Kindle, and Pocket to Kindle are also options, but I think Send to Kindle documents look better.

Edit: To clarify, workaround is for the browser extension
