The set of all four Neapolitan novels from Elena Ferrante are somehow on sale for only $4.99 for the Kindle. If you’ve never read these amazing books, now’s your chance.

Dang! Thanks for the HU.
A reminder that these books are probably already available for free at your local public library.
It's a great call-out, but at my super awesome local public library, not so much the case.
Most of the hoopla/ebook are almost always checked out and same for the print copies, especially as the new seasons get released. Long hold lists, etc.
Libraries are absolutely awesome. But $4.99? That's less than the price of an inner tube should I get a flat on the way to the library to pick up my holds.
Thanks Jason. Easy decision. BTW, remember years ago (8-9?) when you pointed out The Wire DVD box set was on sale for like 90% off on AMZN? Well, we got rid of satellite at our weekend place with only cellular internet 4-5 months ago so have finally been watching it. Just started S4 and it is outstanding. Watching shows and movies on DVD has been an odd nostalgic event.
Sadly, not in the UK, where this collection persists at £25.99. :-(
Alas, the price for the Kindle edition has gone up to $43.99. Maybe the earlier $4.99 was a typo.
I was able to get the set for $4.99 on Apple Books. Just started reading on a flight today, and—from the beginning—just excellent. I know I’m the last to the party but thanks for bearing this drum regularly for many years.

This is the name that'll be displayed next to comments you make on kottke.org; your email will not be displayed publicly. I'd encourage you to use your real name (or at least your first name and last initial) but you can also pick something that you go by when you participate in communities online. Choose something durable and reasonably unique (not "Me" or "anon"). Please don't change this often. No impersonation..
Note: I'm letting folks change their display names because the membership service that kottke.org uses collects full names and I thought some people might not want their names displayed publicly here. If it gets abused, I might disable this feature.
If you feel like this comment goes against the grain of the community guidelines or is otherwise inappropriate, please let me know and I will take a look at it.
