Words Like Coins available in e-format
Words Like Coins, the much sought-after Six Duchies short story from the sold out limited edition anthology A Fantasy Medley is now available as an ebook for US customers with illustrations by Tom Kidd. You can find it on B&N for Nook, amazon.com has the book listed for Kindle but it is not available yet.

Could someone from the US possibly go on to Amazon.com and check the Kindle availability for Words Like Coins. I let Mervi know (via Twitter) that it was showing up on Barnes & Noble for the Nook but it wasn't yet listed on Amazon for the Kindle, despite the fact that Robin had posted on her site that Amazon were listing it (for US only though). Looking at some of the recent tweets, although it's not coming up on my searches, apparently someone from the US bought it from Amazon the day I brought it all to Robin's attention via the Newsgroup. If you can understand all that!
Maybe it's not showing up on my Amazon search because I'm in Australia? That doesn't usually happen though...usually it still comes up but just doesn't allow me to purchase it or it says that it's unavailable for my region. All seems strange...
Either way, it won't come up on Amazon.uk because it's only available to US readers.

All I can find is 'Fantasy Medley' on both the US and the UK sites. I don't know what's going on with it!

Yes, maybe it's just not coming up at all on Amazon for those of us who live in regions where it's unavailable. A good idea really...at least we're cut off altogether and not tempted by having the thing right in front of our face but not able to buy...like what happens with the Nook version!

But in the back of our minds is the knowledge that it is out there, just not for us poor relations!

I can see it on Amazon.com, but it says "currently not available". That is really strange for an ebook isn't it
?!

The plot thickens...like a bowl of porridge or a well-cooked stew!
