I wrote a recent post about one could download Dragon Keeper by Robin Hobb for the Kindle for free. While the offer was valid at the time of that post (I know it was valid b/c I downloaded the eBook myself), such is no longer the case if you live in the United States.
As of right now, you'll get the following message box in the upper right of the product page:
Well, that sucks.
In fact, if you want to purchase the Kindle edition of Dragon Keeper, it'll cost you $12.99:
Ouch. That's too much for an eBook, IMO (I support the boycott on eBooks costing more than $9.99
).
Now, since I'd already downloaded the eBook to my Kindle and given that Amazon has removed eBooks from customers' Kindles without their consent in the past, I was curious to see if Dragon Keeper was still there. So far, it is.
I guess that saying about "striking while the iron is hot" holds true, even for free Kindle offers. Hope you got it while you could.
