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.

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.

I've been waiting for Amazon to do something like this for a long time.
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. :)

Thanks. I've been wanting to try the Parker books. I noticed that this is the fifth book in the series. In your opinion, will I be missing anything if I start here instead of reading them from the beginning?

Already answered? I'm sure there'll be something you're missing, but I don't think it's like a serial or anything.
Bought it. Thanks, Geofferson.

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.

The deal is still daily but the thread isn't :lol:
They made a big splash with a few major titles at the beginning but I've had less interest in the more obscure titles.

Kindle Daily Deal: A History of the World in 6 Glasses
Throughout human history, certain drinks have done much more than just quench thirst. As Tom Standage relates with authority and charm in A History of the World in 6 Glasses, six of them have had a surprisingly pervasive influence on the course of history, becoming the defining drink during a pivotal historical period.
Today's book sounds really interesting. I don't have an e-reader (and reading a book on a laptop/cell phone sounds like a dreadful experience), but I'm thinking about getting it. I'm planning on getting a Kindle in the next month or so.
