Amazon - The 12 days of Kindle

Just been browsing this festive promotion/sale. Every day until 7 January, 50 books (at least) will get added. Nothing has grabbed my interest today - have a few books I'm interested in and hope they get added (in particular the Stephen King novel 11.22.63)

Would be good if they included recent releases in the sale but doubt they will be that generous!

    One of the Recent offers (not part of a sale that ticked me off was Winter of the World Ken Follett, got it as soon as it came out as it was the second part of a three part story, paid quite a bit for it and then about a month or so later it was 20p for weeks :(.
    Not a happy teddy, so now I watch their books and offers, and stick them on my 'Camel' watch list so I can get them when they really are a good offer price!
    Best to check the Kindle offers frequently as a book can go from full price to 20p or free for a day and then back up to full price.
    Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.

    Yes that's what bugging me. They call it a sale yet there are still books for 20p so paying 99p or more seems like a rip off.

    I've been caught out on a few book books where I have paid full price and then they have gone down to 20p :( even the kindle daily deal doesn't excite me much any more

    Bought Life of Pi today for 20p :j I think this has only just gone down to this price because I'm sure I saw it yesterday costing a few pounds. Now if only the other books I want would go down in price too then I will be a happy bunny :j

    Just seen on HDUK all 5 of the Hitchhikrs Guide to the Galaxy down to £2.29 from £19.69.

    Don't know if this has been posted already, but seems very cheap now.

    I keep a keen eye on Kindle offers and deals, and check the top sellers for the books costing 20p.

    Today's daily deal included Eagle of the Ninth, by Rosemary Sutcliffe, at 99p. I snapped that up as I've been wanting to read that book since about 1976!
