""99¢ for a limited time" you said yesterday.. guess so!"
Version: Classics 1.2
Pros
Sounds very cool, I want it.
Cons
Thanks for getting my hopes up for this in your "apps of the week" article, but no thanks for making me think I'd be able to grab this for 99¢ when that offer apparently ended the SAME DAY YOU POSTED THE ARTICLE!! <-- lame
Summary
I'll prolly still buy this, cheaper than purchasing on Kindle..
