It seems Amazon have decided to match the TPB price of Ragged Man to the heavily discounted E-book edition. The main first edition of my book now costs a massive four quid… That’s 70% off cover price two months after publication because they’ve decided the British public are obsessed with getting a discount. Probably right too. I hope they’re losing a lot of money on sales though.

And now a follow-up on that – a week or so of halving their normal price and it’s back up to the more ‘usual’ dicount of 40% which means it costs £7.50 ish. Did give a bump to my sales ranking for that week, but given Amazon are creative with statistics on sales and they’re losing money on each sale, not sure it’s a worthwhile policy for them to continue.
