The best Children's Fantasy & Magic Adventure eBooks: Reddit reviews

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Here's a pretty big one off the top of my head, and last I checked, the whole series is in there. I think Amazon likely gave some popular books extremely favorable terms in order to use books like these in their KU advertising. Another one I can think of is The Handmaid's Tale.

OH! Is it Legend by Marie Lu?!

Oh for sure. The whole business model of books is basically fucked right now. They are way too expensive.

It's so much more cost-effective to make books almost entirely digital but the publishers keep e-books expensive in order to not decimate their physical book sales, which places like libraries support.

This is a good example. The digital book is literally more expensive than the physical book. $63 for 7 .mobi files?

E-books/publishing are more or less are where music and movies were in the early 2000s. The old distribution method didn't work very effectively, so there were massive piracy issues. Then Spotify, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and like 80 other services ended up delivering movies and TV shows. People forget DVDs were like $20 back in the day for movies, if not more.

The price of E-books is kept artificially high so that a bunch more players don't end up getting into the market and undercutting Amazon/Barnes and Noble. People still prefer physical books at this point, but only due to the high price point of E-books. I think the physical book market would entirely collapse if they tried to aggressively move people towards E-readers and cheaper technology.

Ahhh! Perfect post, I am a babybumps lurker and never feel like I have anything to contribute. FTM already named most of my faves, but as for NEW ones, my mom just bought the NY Times best illustrated children's books of 2021 and they are as follows:

- The Little Wooden Robot and the Log Princess (Tom Gauld)
- Keeping the City Going (Brian Floca)
-It Fell from the Sky (Terry Fan)

Though they were all awarded for illustration, I've read them all and they were EXCELLENT. Besides that, you MUST GET "I Want My Hat Back" (Jon Klassen).

And.... it's never too early to start them on Harry Potter... right? https://www.amazon.com/Harry-Potter-Sorcerers-Stone-Illustrated-ebook/dp/B073QTXDBZ/ref=sr\_1\_2?crid=1TBCH6P34Q88G&keywords=harry+potter+illustrated&qid=1637453660&s=books&sprefix=harry+potter%2Cstripbooks%2C196&sr=1-2

~~Frequently if you go to an author's page and change the search results from the default of "Featured" to "Price: High to Low" you can see the bundles/box-set (all books in one giant file) and the series page (all the individual books files) since they're usually the most expensive thing.~~

~~As an~~ ~~example~~ ~~for George R. R. Martin the top two most expensive kindle items are both the 5 books of Game of Thrones. In this case the box-set is a better deal, but since individual books typically go on sale more often than box-sets do, sometimes the series page ends up being a better deal.~~

~~Some~~ ~~individual books~~ ~~will also have a "Books in this series" list under the book description with a link to the complete series on the left.~~

~~Although, looking at Spanish page for George R. R. Martin, I don't see an option to narrow down search results to just kindle books on an author's page (although the fact that I don't speak/read Spanish might just be causing me to miss it), so trying to go to "Price: High to Low" didn't narrow down results as I hoped.~~

Okay, I was wondering why I couldn't get the series page to appear on any .es page, so I googled it and according to amazon:

>Series Collection
>
>A Series Collection allows customers to see and buy all eBooks in a series from a single Series detail page. It also provides series visibility from the item detail page. This feature is available on a limited basis on Amazon.com. Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, and Amazon.co.jp. Please note that not all features are available in every marketplace.

So unfortunately this may not be available for you if you only buy of the .es site.

Is it possible to get this? https://www.amazon.com/Harry-Potter-Sorcerers-Stone-Illustrated-ebook/dp/B073QTXDBZ/ref=sr_1_1_twi_kin_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1520696554&sr=8-1&keywords=sorcerer%27s+stone+illustrated

In general, purchasing a "collection" will be one huge file, but will cost less; purchasing a "series" will give you separate files, but will cost more. You can also tell by the formatting of the purchase page: "Collections" pages only have one purchase option, where "series" pages will allow you to purchase either the whole series or any of the individual titles in the series. If you've already purchased a book from the series, it's price will not be included in the series price; but if you instead buy the collection, you're basically paying twice for that title.

For your specific concern about scrolling, check the sample before you buy; a well formatted "collection" should have a clickable table of contents so that you can skip to whichever title you want to read within the collection.

Edit to add an example.
Since you mentioned Harry Potter, I will use that.

Marie Lu does this in the Legend series.

The two main characters are named Day and June and the author changes POV at each chapter. And the chapter titles are either "Day" or "June"

It's a best selling book series and I had no trouble following it.

Wyvern by A. A. Attanasio might fit what you're looking for, somewhat: the main character spends his childhood as a witch-doctors apprentice. The fantasy aspects are pretty low-key though, from what I recall. It's more of a historical novel with mystic elements than a full-blown fantasy, but well-worth a try if you want to get away from that "medieval Europe" feeling.
