A number of Kindle edition books, mostly author back catalogs, have been marked down recently (but there is no guarantee they'll stay at these low prices).
The Princess Bride: S. Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure
is currently $1.95, but if
The Princess Diaries
is more your style, it's going for $4.76. The best bet for The Princess Diaries, currently, is to
read it online for free, over at Harper-Collins' website.
Some examples of authors with bargain books:
Isaac Asimov
Suzanne Brockmann
Jennifer Crusie
Janet Evanovich
Tami Hoag
Kay Hooper
Linda Howard
Iris Johansen
Lester del Rey
(classic SciFi)
Robert Silverberg
Note that a number of Robert Silverberg's entries are short stories, but there a few gems in there, with
The Book of Skulls
and
The World Inside
both under $1.00 and
Dying Inside
and
Son of Man
only slightly more (Son of Man seems to be a love it hate it book - reviews are clustered at the 5 and 1 star range, with those who hate it wanting some way to leave zero stars, so take advantage of the free sample before squandering the $1.50!)
And if you've been thinking of starting restaurant, going into food service or maybe even just remodeling your kitchen, you might want to check out
Design and Equipment for Restaurants and Foodservice
, which is currently going for $0.01 (yes, that's ONE CENT) in the Kindle Edition. This is a large book (12 MB) and
the print version
is listed for $63.80 (but no doubt has better pictures), which is actually about $25 less than the 2nd edition hardcover. The Kindle edition is also the newly updated third edition - quite a bargain for those needing this particular information.
