What many of us have seen in the past is that the price starts out at not much off the hardback release price. But it then usually goes down at some point. Not guaranteed, though. There's one called The Serpent's Tail by Ariana Franklin that's been at it's (high) release price for months. I think that if they get on NYT bestseller list it generally drops to 9.99 in accordance with Amazon's advertised "most books cost". If not, it likely won't go down until the paperback version comes out. Anyone but me find it a little ironic that how well the PAPER book sells controls what we pay for an E-book?

Thanks! It seems to work for three of the four Kindle books I tried (not for the Steve Berry, however). I'll be using this a lot!Brian A said:

I just checked and "The Charlemagne Pursuit" dropped to $9.99. I just bought it.Avalon3 said:I've been waiting for Steve Berry's new book to come out. It's out but I'm going to wait and hope for a price drop. $14.92 is more than I will pay for a new book.

Hmmmm... Amazon, if you're watching, I'd like a price drop on this, since I don't want to pay $16.98. Thanks!Betsy the Quilter said:

I need to get back and restart The Amber Room. It's about one of the subject I'm intrigued by. I've started it two or three times, but never managed to get more than a handful of chapters into it, which I find strange. I really liked The Alexandra Link. Amber is one of a dozen or so books I held back when I packed up my library earlier this year. I'll have to re-try it during my house repairs.Avalon3 said:
I'm beginning to think that there just has to be a right time to read some things. I had to make three or four attempts to get into Vonda McIntyre's Dreamsnake before it finally clicked. I finished it and have reread it several times since. I like it a lot.
Go figure.

Mike, I think you will like "The Amber Room". That was the first book I read by Steve Berry and I continue to read his books. I liked it that Steve told at the end of the book some of the history in his book really happened. I learned things I didn't know.jmiked said:
Before reading "The Amber Room" I read "Amber Beach" by Elizabeth Lowell. I loved learning about the amber in "Amber Beach". Then in sequence I read her next book "Jade Island" and learned a lot about jade. Then pearls in "Pearl Cove" and rubies in "Midnight in Ruby Bayou". I recommended these books to friends and family and that they be read in that order. My friends and family liked them too.
I liked "The Amber Room" but I liked "Amber Beach" better.

The Amber Room has been the subject of several documentaries over the last few years. It's a fascinating story.Avalon3 said:
