Thanks, CW, you're very good to do that! 
Plus, if your TBR pile is similar to mine, it's probably so big that it's a wonder that you ever get anything read!

[quote=""Brenna""]Only for those of us not living in the States apparently
It says not available to those living in the U.S on the Kindle page. I say we keep trying though![/quote]
I'm one of those in the states waiting for the ebooks to become available. The same thing happens at the Sony bookstore. There are books that can be purchased if you live in Canada, but not if you are a US resident.

Nice one Ben. I am sure it will be just as successful there as it is here; looking forward immensely to "Hannibal"
