    If anyone wants to get really ahead of things, the ebook for September 2026, Dr. No by Ian Fleming, is currently on sale for $2 USD.

    Also, I set up price drop notifications for the rest of the ebooks, so I'll pop back into this topic with a new comment whenever they go on sale. If anyone wants to get pinged when that happens, comment below or PM me and I'll add your name to a notification list.

    A Psalm for the Wild-Built has A Discount for the E-Reader. It’s on sale for $3 USD wherever you buy your ebooks.

    Canadian friends, additional good news: Amazon.ca DOES have this deal!

    Also, for anyone who prefers their ebooks without pesky DRM, you can get a DRM-free copy from Bookshop.

      It's showing as $4.99 on Amazon.com, but it won't actually let me buy it from there (even though I usually can order things from the .com site), and on Amazon.ca it's still listed as $20. Ditto on Apple Books, it's showing as $4.99 on their .com site, but in my Apple Books app it's still $20. So I googled around a bit and according to vitalsource (another ebook distributer):

      For Sale in US* Only

      *Due to publisher sales restrictions, this content can only be purchased with a valid US billing address.

      :( Thanks for trying though.

          No worries, it's the thought that counts. And thanks for the link about switching the Kindle Library location. I may try that in the future... but for now, @DefinitelyNotAFae gratefully saved me...

    This sale doesn’t seem to be available at other stores, but, in some good news to all my Canadian friends here, the deal is actually available on Amazon.ca this time!

    Looking forward to The Poisoner's Handbook! I might need to re-buy it, since my copy seems to be gone. I definitely liked it enough to want it on my bookshelf permanently.
