There are big changes afoot in the Kindle Store, and it is likely — at least until we hear definitive news to the contrary directly from Amazon — that in a few months a much smaller portion of the store’s offerings will be as affordable as they are today. Three of the Big Six publishers (MacMillan, HarperCollins, and Hachette) have joined together under the collusive anti-reader price-gouging auspices of the BS Cabal to announce that they will soon raise ebook prices by 30 to 50 percent, and Amazon itself said recently that beginning later this year it would pay 70 percent royalties to its indie ebook authors, but only if they priced books at $2.99 and up.

So I thought it would be a good time to celebrate this moment of great 99-cent Kindle Store offerings by helping the citizens of Kindle Nation find some of the hidden offerings priced at less than a dollar, with lists here of Intriguing Recent Releases, the 99-Cent Kindle Store Bestseller List, Great Blogs for 99 Cents a Month, Literate Erotica at 99 Cents a Pop, and Five Other 99-Cent Bargains by Yours Truly:
