I haven't actually bought any of these except the Sayers, because I'm trying to be good, and I've spent too much on books already this month. But I've bookmarked them and will probably buy them when I can afford to. It means I can get rid of a bunch of physical books. Amazon.ca has the following collections for Kindle app:
Dorothy L. Sayers Volume I (7 Peter Wimsey novels) for $0.99 Canadian!
Dorothy L. Sayers Volume II (4 Peter Wimsey novels, plus 18 Peter Wimsey short stories and 11 Montague Egg short stories, also for $0.99 Canadian.
The Complete Miss Marple by Agatha Christie (includes all the full-length novels and all the short stories) for $39.99 Canadian. OK, $40 is not particularly cheap, but it works out at $3.08 per book, which is significantly cheaper than any of the books are going for on their own.
Also the Complete Tommy and Tuppence for $19.99 Canadian, which works out at $4 per book.
And the complete Hercule Poirot short stories for $14.99, which is more than 50 stories.
Actually this makes me sad, because while I'm very happy Agatha Christie is continuing to sell and reach new readers, the fact that they're selling Dorothy L. Sayers' books on Kindle for pennies probably means, in contrast, that Sayers' books *aren't* continuing to sell and reach new readers. Which is a terrible shame, because she was a terrific detective novelist. I hate the idea of her fading into obscurity.
