EDIT: Since a fair few of you have tried and failed to get these on Amazon.com it appears this is a UK only offer so I've edited out the incorrect links

Gone from Amazon US. Two error messages on the site:

Pricing information not available.

And

This title is not currently available for purchase.

I'm still seeing them

(as long as I'm not logged in as I'm a UK resident and can't actually buy kindle books from the USA)

so it might be worth trying again if you are entitled to buy kindle books from .com (of course it could be some cookie based price matching of the UK prices based on my ISP data)

Nope, mine says "Pricing Information is not available" Hopefully a temporary glitch.

Tis a shame; while I'm not sure I'm interested in 28mm WW2 that price is low enough to be worth a look.

Thanks for checking,

I wonder if this is actually a UK only promotion (which is where I first found it),

oh well of more limited use to Dakka than I hoped (but certainly worth a look if your in the UK)

Can I buy this even if I don't have a Kindle, just in case I get one later? Or do you have to have a device set up already? It says "deliver to 'my kindle cloud reader' ", so I'm worried it'll end up going nowhere...

“Good people are quick to help others in need, without hesitation or requiring proof the need is genuine. The wicked will believe they are fighting for good, but when others are in need they’ll be reluctant to help, withholding compassion until they see proof of that need. And yet Evil is quick to condemn, vilify and attack. For Evil, proof isn’t needed to bring harm, only hatred and a belief in the cause.”

I'm getting the following:

Kindle titles for your country are not available at Amazon.co.uk.
Please shop for Kindle titles at Amazon.com.


Going to the US site:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Bolt+Action%3A+Armies+of+the+United+States&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3ABolt+Action%3A+Armies+of+the+United+States

I can't find any e-reader items, which is unfortunate as I certainly would have picked up all of them.

Yes this does seem to be Amazon.co.uk only (annoyingly), despite what I first thought

I've edited the OP to reflect this

Just out of interest what exactly is in the Kindle edition? I assume it's designed for Kindle there must be no illustrations.

All the images etc are there (click on look the image of the book to 'look inside' and see on the purchase page)

so It will work best on either a Kindle Fire or one of the Reader Apps,

although you can in theory look at it on a Kindle e-reader the pictures will be in black and white, and navigating from page to page is a bit of a pain if you're using rather than reading them

Thanks, got it sorted.

Just picked up the German, British and US books. Bargain.

This promotion is now over so I shall lock the thread.

I'm writing a load of fiction. My latest story starts here... This is the index of all the stories...

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.
