A fantasy novel, this is the first book in Brent Week's best-selling Night Angel Trilogy.
Jacqueline Kennedy: Historic Conversations on Life with John F. Kennedy (with Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., annotations by presidential historian Michael Beschloss)There are two e-versions available (the hardcover comes with CDs and reviews of that are included in the current two "Kindle" editions (one "enhanced").
In the forums, there's been confusion over what Amazon is offering because it IS confusing.
1. The pure Kindle E-Reader edition is only for pre-order, at $9.99 and won't be released until January 3, 2012.
Hyperion will include 85 photos, displayed throughout the narrative, complete transcripts, and accompanying annotations by presidential historian Michael Beschloss. The product page explains how the latter works while reading back and forth, although the listed points have a typo that has a question mark in the place of an apostrophe in the first instance and the corrected version in the following list point.
2. The Kindle Edition "with Audio/Video" is available now but only for iPads, iPhones, and iPod Touch devices, at $9.95.
It has always interested me why these audio/video versions carry the label "Kindle Edition" then. But I guess we may find out sooner than later. Again, this edition for Kindle app on idevices is available for download now.
It's $19.95 at iTunes, I read earlier yesterday, but doesn't have pricing regulated by the Big6 publishers although, strangely, the publisher-suggested retail price for the digital enhanced version is $60.
