Today's Deals

Update: Amazon price-matched the Nook Daily Find deal.

Today's the last day for the Save $10 on Software Downloads KSO offer. According to Amazon, these are some of the upcoming KSO offers:
  • Save 50% on select Kindle covers
  • Get $5 off a $10 purchase at Amazon.com

Hopefully we'll be able to pick up a cover for the Fire or Touch with that first one and the last two should be ones that everyone can use.

MAX ($2.99), the fifth in the (young adult) Maximum Ride series by James Patterson, is today's Kindle Deal of the Day.
Book Description
Maximum Ride and the other members of the flock have barely recovered from their last Arctic adventure, when they are confronted by the most frightening catastrophe yet. Millions of fish are dying off the coast of Hawaii and someone--or something--is destroying hundreds of ships. Unable to discover the cause, the government enlists the flock to help them get to the bottom of the disaster before it is too late.

While Max and her team are exploring the depths of the ocean, their every move is being carefully tracked by Mr. Chu--a criminal mastermind with his own plans for the flock. Can they protect themselves from Mr. Chu's army of mercenaries and save the ocean from utter destruction?

Death by Black Hole: And Other Cosmic Quandaries ($8.61 $3.19 Kindle; $3.19 B&N), by Neil deGrasse Tyson, is the Nook Daily Find.
Book Description
Loyal readers of the monthly “Universe” essays in Natural History magazine have long recognized Neil deGrasse Tyson’s talent for guiding them through the mysteries of the cosmos with stunning clarity and childlike enthusiasm. Here Tyson compiles his favorite essays across a myriad of cosmic topics. The title essay introduces readers to the physics of black holes by explaining just what would happen to your body if you fell into one, while “Hollywood Nights” assails Hollywood’s feeble efforts to get its night skies right. Tyson is the world’s best-known astrophysicist, and he’s at his best here, as a natural teacher who simplifies the complexities of astrophysics while sharing his infectious excitement for our universe.
