I saw that as Sega Collection and thought I totally missed a game on Genesis.

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.

Dammit Jeff Bezos!
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.

since I already had the kindle version of the first book, I just compared that version to this collection and they seem to have the same amount of chapters and text. The collection version has a slightly bigger font size so amount of pages don't match but the content seems the same.
I don't have the second book and third book to compare but that's why I bought this. But I wouldn't know if it's abridged or not.

Quote from vaindioux :
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 👍🏻
Publishers do these sales all the time. It's a way to bump sales numbers for that month/quarter, and also a way to move a particular book up within Amazon's bestseller rankings ("#1 in Fantasy Novels," etc.). These sales are done often enough that I almost never pay full price for a Kindle book. I simply add the books that I eventually want to read to my Wish List, and every day quickly scroll through it to see if any of the prices have dropped to $1.99 or $2.99. Typically that happens at least one time a week for one of the books on my Wish List.

Quote from wolfpup :
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.
Not Libby for this but being on the county border I have library cards for both systems, one has holds on 8 of 11 copies and another has several available, go figure.
