Jimbo:
Mighty and mysterious are the ways of Amazon! They dictated the book pricing for the paperback - which was £8:90. There was nothing I could do about it. I would prefer it to be cheaper, although I only get about £1:20 royalty at the full amount.

This morning I see it's now listed at £7:71 or £7:48. I'd be very interested to see if you get the same result! Don't use my link: put "Amazon Jim Hawkins Almond and the deep blue sea" into the URL bar.

I know that several people have sent reviews in, some five days ago, but none have appeared. Reviews and plenty of stars are very important. Kindle sales are still about 3:1, so I can see why some authors choose Kindle-only as an option.

Meanwhile - Almond:2 is underway.

Ah the idiosyncrasies of Amazon, £7.48 here. But this is an issue I've long found interesting as I can look at something on my account whilst looking at the same on a device next to me under another account and the price is different. I'm talking items of say £10-20 being 12-18 on the other... At first I thought this was an currency exchange issue e.g. they work in $ and convert, but this looks more like a profiling/ data collection issue?

Jimbo:
Thanks! Yes - it's profiling - but they didn't ask me, or even tell me. I mean, I'm just the writer.

geordieborn2:
What we really need to know is how to setup your profile to get things cheaper ;D !

David A:
I'm about 2/3 of the way through it and really enjoying it - (no spoilers) but it looks like Jimbo's take on Sidari is exactly the same as mine!
