I think the $.99 price of Courtney Milan’s book is what giving the story staying power on the list. Grace Burrowes and Susanna Kearsley’s stories are part of Amazon’s Sunshine deals. Unlocked by Courtney Milan Yours To Keep by Shannon Stacey Captives of the Night by Loretta Chase Grand Sophy by Georgette Heyer Winter Sea(…)

It is no surprise to us that Courtney Milan’s book is number one on our lists but mostly because I think it is other readers telling their friends about how good it is. Oh and the price. Who can pass up a good story for $.99? Not many of you. Unlocked by Courtney Milan Captives(…)

I find it highly ironic that Sarah and I both sold so many copies of Captives of the Night by Loretta Chase even though we criticized the cover. Such is the power of La Chase! Captives of the Night by Loretta Chase Before the Witches: An Original Novella by Karina Cooper The Wind & the(…)

What exactly is a bestseller? I had a reader email me and ask why a certain author had “International Bestselling Author” on her website and what exactly that meant. There are authors who are now labeling their books “Number 1 Kindle Bestseller”. Publishers Weekly noted that Snooki’s A Shore Thing (which is categorized as a(…)

A day after Amazon released a statement stating that it would not remove an objectionable book containing what the self published author described as a way to be a better pedophile, Amazon has reversed its stance and the book is no longer in the catalog of self published Kindle titles.

Kindles were out of stock and most people (except Gizmodo) thought that new Kindles were around the corner. Most people were right. Kindle 3 is 21% smaller and 15% lighter. Comes in two models: 3G+wifi and Wifi and two colors: White and Graphite. I am a little worried about the thinness of the Kindle. Kindle(…)

I was browsing books last night and came across Patricia Briggs’ Silver Borne (non affiliate Kindle link). Right now the Kindle price is $9.99 if you pre-order. My understanding is that Kindle pre -orders do count for bestseller lists so you can get the book now and still help out a favorite author. Amazon is(…)
