The exterior of Timber Ridge Apartments in Houston, a two story apartment block. The curb in front of the apartment block is mounded with overflowing dumpsters stacked three high, nearly obscuring the apartment building; these are ringed with chest-high piles of split garbage bags. Superimposed on the image, in needlepoint sampler font, is the legend HOME SWEET HOME."

do you distribute on Baen? I use a kobo reader
fabulous! i loved it so much. Now i can share it with more people
Is it available anywhere slightly less, how do I put this, uh... evil?
@Blort They're the ones having the sale. It's available everywhere, though.
Ok. Just found it on CrapHound and plan to buy it from there instead. 👍
I refuse to buy books from Amazon. On Kobo Books it's still selling for $15.
@hosh Yes, Amazon is the one having the sale. You can get it elsewhere at full price. As the author, I don't set the prices for retailers.
@hosh
US$2.99 ~= NZ$4.90, but Amazon wanted NZ$9.33.
Still a bargain, though. Sold!
Same price at non-Amazon ebook seller Kobo https://www.kobo.com/ca/en/ebook/the-lost-cause-4

Should I expect to get DRM-free ebook by clicking on Kindle link on Amazon?
Bought it, but no options to read it outside Kindle app or Kindle web. How is that DRM-free? I expected to read it on Kobo.
@justinas Just download it from the Kindle web interface and install it on the reader of your choice.k
Amazon, as expected, says "Buy a Kindle or get the free Kindle reading app.":

Another impossibly twisted UI, or did they simply lie it will be DRM-free?

You'll get an AZW file.

If your reader doesn't support that natively, there's *lots* of free, easy AZW-EPUB or AZW-MOBI converters.
Still showing as £5.03 on Amazon.uk
does not apply to the eu store, any other stores to get it?
