This - it looks very useful

Find the book you want on Amazon, tell these guys your email address, and they'll email you every time the price drops by £1.

They also have a list of 'most watched' so you can see what other people are looking at.

Kindle prices do seem to jump up and down a lot, so hopefully this means I can buy more books :)

Looks good. Have you tried it?

I've noticed that a book will be free for a period of time, then jump straight into the paid bestsellers list, presumably based on all the free downloads.

TrilllianAstra · 21/06/2011 13:52

Surely 'paid bestsellers' should be things that actually sold as paid, not just 'is paid right now'? What a cheat!

I only signed up with some books today, unsurprisingly they have not emailed me yet!

The whole pricing structure is manipulative.

Never mind, I'm happy because I can buy and download a book from the comfort of my bed in the middle of the night - priceless Grin

Caitlin Moran's book has, in the last week, been £3.78, £9.59, and £4.19 (that I've seen). It makes no damn sense!

Thank you Trillian, it looks great.

Thanks... been manually checking for my books... soo much easier now

TrilllianAstra · 22/06/2011 18:10

I have signed up to be told about new free books, so far they all look a bit shite but I can always hope...

Just signed upto then on FB too and the books they mention on their look rubbish too.

TrilllianAstra · 22/06/2011 20:55

If a book is any good it makes sense that they would be charging for it...

JiltedJohnsJulie · 23/06/2011 10:09

Well, yes but I've downloaded a couple that were free for a short while then shot up to £4.99. Its all a bit odd.

TrilllianAstra · 23/06/2011 13:57

The prices really are strange.

If you know of any free books that are good (and still free) let me know! :)

What kind of books do you like Trillian?
