_Is going to_? Hey, the latest Dresden, _Changes_ was supposed to be out on the 6th. Of April. I've been trying to buy it on the kindle for close to three weeks now. Now, I _could_ do a sneaky and change my address to pretend I live in the UK, buy it, and then switch it back. At least, it sounds like that worked for people posting on Butcher's website.
Short form: Penguin and Amazon have been engaged in a pricing battle of epic proportions for the better part of a month. Unlike the battle involving Macmillan, however, this one isn't getting any coverage outside of blogs. And very little coverage inside of blogs.
Maybe it's too dark in there to read.
