Amazon Kindle Deals (daily or otherwise)
Amazon just launched this Wednesday. I think it warrants its own thread. I started yesterday (didn't find out about it until then). I'll keep this first post updated now and then, and one of us can post the daily deal info daily (link remains the same).
The "regular" price may be lower than the digital price, it's the regular Amazon price.

Wednesday 8/25/11: The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, $1.39, regular price $5.59
Thursday, 8/26/11: Like Water For Elephants, $2.99, regular price $6.99
Friday, 8/27/11: Elizabeth Street - $1.99, regular price $7.99
Saturday: Food, Inc. - $1.49, regular price $8.52.

Yeah, as I mentioned in the e-book thread I bought Elizabeth Street yesterday (thought about getting it a while back so procrastination pays off), and that's a nice price for Food Inc.

I check the Kindle top 100 paid and free and it usually is a good indicator of what is on sale. I have picked up a ton of free short stories or the first book in a series. It seems a good marketing ploy, give you a little taste and try to get you to get the whole collection(short stories) or series.

re: Amazon Kindle Deals (daily or otherwise)
Dysfunctions of a team's regular price is only $8.XX ebooks are rarely sold at the digital list price. It's $4.49 right now.
Today's deal is Battleship Earth, which apparently has many fans as the book form is good campy fun as opposed to the movie.
$3.82/$0.99 http://www.amazon.com/Battlefield-Ea...d_i=1000677541

While not a part of this daily deal program, figured it's worth mentioning that Richard Stark's (a.k.a. Donald Westlake) The Score (a Parker novel) is currently available for free on the Kindle. A great way to introduce yourself to this fantastic crime series if you're not familiar with it.

Also not a daily deal, but Amazon is offering 18 Kurt Vonnegut books for $3.99 each: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=s9_al_bw...rd_i=133141011

The Parker series doesn't have to be read in order to be appreciated. There is a modest amount of carryover in story from book to book, but not enough to worry about.

Thanks for the responses. I may just start from the beginning with the Parker books anyway, since the first, second and fourth are currently discounted to $2.66 each.

That's a great deal. They are definitely worth 3 bucks each! I'm tempted to get them myself, even though I already have multiple paper copies of each.
