So I have a friend in jail that I regularly send books to. This doesn't cover every situation, but I assume the circumstances will be similar.

He says that the (meager) prison library is very skewed towards religious books, classics, GED materials, and low-difficulty grocery store novels. Anything other than that will be appreciated. The books most requested are thick fantasy books, activity books (sudoku, physics workbooks, etc), science non-fiction, and coffee-table books or magazines with lots of pictures. These will be swapped with other inmates so that anyone interested has a chance to read.

Some things to keep in mind:

u/HaroldSax · 4 pointsr/gameofthrones

That's the Kindle app brotato, probably a legit copy. There's a version with all 5 books for $20.

u/SmallFruitbat · 3 pointsr/suggestmeabook

OK, so I have a friend in jail serving a lot more time and the rules are probably even stricter (separate receipt needs to be sent in a different shipment or else even new books from Amazon will be destroyed).

Anyways, he says that prison libraries skew towards religious books, former crappy bestsellers (dime-a-dozen bestsellers, the crappy sort of chicklit, etc), and classics. Books that deviate from that are better.

Some general rules: books that cost less are better (at a certain point, you can receive 3x $10 books or 1x $30 book), 3-books-in-1 are better (you can have x many objects).

Books that have gone over well:

There is always the Kindle + Amazon route. E-books are dirt cheap, like getting The entire "A Song of Ice and Fire" series for $25. It does require that you invest in a kindle, or already have a tablet of some sort.

And it's not real books. That might be the biggest deal breaker.

>I don't know how to look up quotes and my nook won't let me copy paste them.

Not sure if nook has a PC app but Kindle does and the 5 book set is really reasonable at 20 bucks. I've used the search/copy/paste to death. Though the chrome widget doesn't let you copy paste, the windows app does.

u/SirCannonFodder · 2 pointsr/australia

Actually, if Amazon thinks you live in Australia, it automatically adjusts the Amazon US prices to match the Australian ones (I discovered this when people would link to books that were $3 in the US store, but all I'd get was a "Pricing not available" message). I've set my account's location to the US, and this is what the book's page looks like to me. Link to the page

You can get them for Kindle on Amazon for 39.99. And you don't have to have a Kindle; the app works just as well if you're reading from a iPad or phone.

Vinyl: Not sure what type of music you're into, but i personally love Daft Punk They are.. amazing!

$17.99 w/ free shipping on orders over $35 (which with the lipstick and kindle books would be over that)

Books: I'm in love with the Game of Thrones series, always have been (before the show came out). It has an amazing plot, awesome characters, and shocking twists and turns the whole way through.

$41.67

Makeup:

Hmm my favorites would have to be...

NYX Snow White just because it's an AMAZING color. (not indie but, still awesome) $5.25 w/ free shipping

Anything from AFK Cosmetics (shameless promotion of a_wild_dena_appears new line!).

A sample bag off all of her new shadows would be $17 + shipping. Not sure how much shipping is in the US, but we'll just say 5 bucks to be safe. So $22 ish.

That leaves 13 dollars left, so I would honestly (if it were me) grab 11 samples from ANY collection on Victorian Disco.

Sample baggie shipping is $1.75 so that would afford you a lot of samples!! Total on that would be $12.75


Complete Total: $99.66 :)

Get busy living!

The german book prices of game of thrones.

It is absolute ridiculous. Via the german Amazon you can order the english box set with all books for around 26€.

All translated books will cost you around 120€.

Many publishers are incredibly lazy when it comes to eBooks.
Game of Thrones is a good example; 5 books in one large ass eBook.

Other problems with many ebooks include:

  • Lacking bold and italics

  • Missing artwork/pictures (VERY common)

  • DRM forcing buyers to be locked down to a specific platform

    What's sad is that most of these problems are easy fixes, hell, you can download Calibre (free and open-source eBook management software) and edit non-drm epub files and fix these issues yourself.

    That's what I did with Open Road Media's digital publish of Harlan Ellison's: I Have No Mouth & I Must Scream

And where exactly was GRRM's legally binding promise that he would write seven books?

I don't see it here.

Or here.

So I'm curious, who promised you, when you bought the earlier books, that you would be entitled to read seven books in that series? If GRRM died tomorrow, would you sue his estate?

This argument is ridiculous.

I want this because I like reading something interesting and long when my wife drags me places.

u/rnelsonee · 1 pointr/AdviceAnimals

Yeah, five books are out now, and they covered them in seasons 1-5. This last season was ahead of the books. Sixth book is due "soon", and then if history is a guide... many years until the final book.

u/drzedwordhunter · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

This picture of my son and I. Always makes me smile.


If I win I'd like this ebook collection of the Song of Ice and Fire series. I've never read them(or seen the show).

u/eventersgetoverit · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

This would be my happy dance if I got the book(s) below!

Frank and Beans!

Thanks for the contest! :D

u/Chuck_Chasem · 1 pointr/opieandanthony

I've seen the oposite, but for older books.
A Song of Ice and Fire(Game of Thrones) book 5 is a fucking 1000+ page tome and does costs much more than the kindle version.

Here's the full set, and look at the price difference.
