I'm thinking these are in fact abridged versions?

Dune 850 + Dune Messiah 350 + Children of Dune 623 = 1823

vs

This collection is 1226 pages.

Could there really be 600 pages of just fluff that gets removed?

edit: the google link also says sold by penguin and is showing 1856 pages, so I'm thinking maybe Amazon's info is just wrong...

edit:edit: I ended up buying it and looking through it and comparing to some of the physical copies I have, and I think it's all good.

Why are they giving these books away?
Has everybody read them and they just try to get $2 still from them?
I haven't, so i got reading for a while on the cheap. Any more tips on where to get cheap ebooks appreciated and thxs? Thxs OP 👍🏻
I recently read the Dune ebook from my library through the Libby app. I never have to buy ebooks and audiobooks. They're all available from the library. See if your local library offers Libby.

If anyone thought adapting it to a Movie was too easy, they should try adapting it to a 16-bit video game.

Update: Nevermind, it doesn't show up on the product page, but if you have a no-rush credit, you have to blindly trust that it'll be applied to the one-click order.
Can confirm that this works as Endey describes!

Because it takes place 3500 years after the trilogy presented here?

Damnit! The Jeff Bezos version is abridged while the Larry Page and Sergey Brin version is not!!

I joined the wrong side!

I was so excited to get a steal on the 3-books only to have it all combined into one and being abridged. EEK!

I've confirmed that the Google Play version's first chapter of Dune seems to have all the paragraphs from my Ace edition from 1990, anyway. They are all combined into one ebook, though. The e-reader shows 1496 total pages. Can't comment on the Amazon version.
