Amazon seem to have finally started catching up with their backlog of emails and we’re happy to say that the Kindle editions of RealmShift and MageSign are available again. The price now matches the Smashwords and DriveThru price of US$2.89 each. That’s less than a cup of coffee! It also looks like they’ve kicked in the region coding plan, so if you’re looking from Australia, for example, you won’t see pricing information and there’s a nice green box telling you that you can’t have a copy. Of course, in that case you just go to Smashwords and buy DRM-free Kindle compatible editions from there.

There’s also talk of Amazon rolling the Kindle reader out to other countries very soon, at least including the UK and Australia. Given that there’s no amazon.com.au, it’ll be interesting to see how they handle this situation.

You can find the Amazon Kindle editions of RealmShift here and MageSign here. Tell your friends.
