I'm having trouble deciding whether to get this one or not.
Thoughts?

I was hoping there'd be novels I'd read in it so I could give a better opinion, but alas, none of these seem to be novels I've read. I mean, that's essentially $15, at maximum, to get a load of eBooks. As a person with a kindle who finds themselves regularly frustrated with the cost of some books (I regularly find myself not buying books because more obscure novels often fall into the nearly $10 mark in the amazon store), that seems to be a good deal.

If I wasn't in the middle of rereading a long series, I'd probably get it myself.

EDIT: Speaking of which, the damn next novel costs $6.75 in the amazon store...I'm pretty sure I could walk into the book store near my work and buy a paperback copy for less than that -.-

^Yeah I know it's a real bargain, but my backlog is already pretty long and I only buy things I know I will absolutely read from now on.

I already own To Be Or Not To Be and most books look pretty bleh.
Code Monkey Save World looks great though. Really good art and a ridiculous premise. It's apparently based off this song.
Mother Russia and Ava's Demon look pretty interesting too.
They're all in the 15$ tier tho..

Yea...I've been really disappointed in general with the cost of buying eBooks and this bundle is really efficient even if you only wanted three or four of the books. I mean, I probably bought my copy of the Dragonriders of Pern trilogy (in one book) for as much as All the Weyrs of Pern will cost me and it had more typos than it should have (which is really irritating). I've been really disappointed with Amazon's books' costs in general. No reason I should have to spend $10 on a book that's in the public domain, but I've had that happen before when trying to find more obscure novels. On the other hand, I spent $1 to get every single Oz novel written by L. Frank Baum in one eBook. It's really inconsistent. -.-

Yeah. I wish digital media in general would be priced more reasonably.

I'd be all over a movie service that allows the user to buy movies for ~8$, then stream them or download them DRM-free in a quality level of your choice.
Digital movies cost like 15$ on Google Play Movies and that's streaming only..
For books I think around 2-4$ is a reasonable price if you can read it online and download it.
Pricing on books does seem slightly more reasonable in general tho.
