Kindle Tips: Today only (Sat. 8/25) - Up to 70% off 400 books for college students
An unusual Kindle Daily Deal + Gold Box Deal of the Day -
70% Off 400+ Books for College Students
This is for *Saturday, August 25 Only* - As the Gold Box Deal of the Day is up for just the one day, I'm highlighting this one so that it won't be lost in one of my wordy blog articles but found when it's too late to take advantage of it.
Note, though, that the wording of this deal is Up to 70% off.
Amazon's description: "From essential textbooks and classic dictionaries to study and lifestyle guides, today's Daily Deal offers a diverse selection of essential books for every college-bound student."
"Kindle Kids Daily Deal: 'The Worst-Case Scenario' Series"
Amazon has also started doing Kindle Daily Deals that include offerings for younger readers under the regular Kindle Daily Deal.
Today's are three books from the series in the paragraph header and the description says that "each book features multiple endings, entertaining illustrations, and interesting facts: explore the Amazon's jungles, the glaciers of Mount Everest, or the barren terrain of Mars."
I hadn't mentioned the new, 2nd Kindle Daily Deal earlier. In the forum threads, people have often requested a way to find bargain books for the younger set.

NOTE: TO AVOID SPAM being posted instantly, this blog uses the blogger.com "DELAY" feature.
Am often away much of the day, and postings won't show up right away. Posts done to use referrer-links may never show up.
Usually, am online enough to release comments within a day though, so the hard-to-read match-text tests for commenting won't be needed this way.
Feedback and questions are welcome. Thanks for participating.
Technical Problems?
If you're having problems leaving a Comment, Google's blogger-help asks that you clear the 'blogger.com' cookies on your browser's Tools or Options menu bar and that will fix the Comment-box problems (until they have a permanent fix).
IF that doesn't work either, then UNcheck the "keep me signed in" box -- Google-help says that should allow your comment to post (it's a workaround to a current bug).
Apologies for the problems.
TIP: There's a size limit. If longer than 3500 characters or so, in a text editor, make two posts out of it.
