StoryBundle - What is it?

StoryBundle is another interesting indie ebook site I've recently experimented with.  I'll give it the usual treatment below:

Website Name & Link:  StoryBundle

What it's About (in their own words):
StoryBundle is a way for people who love to read to discover quality indie books written by indie authors. You know how it's always hard to find something good to read? StoryBundle hopes to solve that.

We take a handful of books—usually about five or so—and group them together to offer as a bundle. Then you, the reader, can take a look at the titles we've chosen and decide how much you'd like to pay. Think of us like a friend that scours independent books for undiscovered gems, then bundles these titles together for one low price that you decide. Yeah, we mean it; you get to set the price that you want to pay!
How it Works:  Founded in early 2012, StoryBundle features indie authors from all different genres.  They choose authors and read the titles themselves, to ensure a level of quality in the books they bundle.  If you're an author with a book you'd like to have included in a bundle, you can e-mail StoryBundle with a request (which is what I did).  They e-mailed back requesting a mobi file to evaluate.  Now I'm waiting with my fingers crossed that I get included in a bundle.  I'll post here if I do.

StoryBundle has a great FAQ and a lot of neat features, like allowing the reader to 'pick your price' and donate a portion to charity, among other things. Regardless of the amount a bundle sells for, the author receives 70%.  Check it out when you have a chance.
