Kindle Tip: Hundreds of educational books up to 75% off today only. Amazon Studios signs Woody Allen to write and direct a TV series
Today's Kindle Daily Deal (today only is an unusual one.
I was seeing a lot of books showing up today in the Kindle Forum's customer-recommended large discounts thread, which were largely historical or very popular older books, and wondered why there were so many. So I checked the Kindle Daily Deal and saw that today's deal involves, as you can see in the banner screenshot,
"Hundreds of Educational Books, Up to 75% off."
Worth a look for those interested in non-fiction, not often seen in the larger-discounted sales.
Ends tonight, 1/13/15.

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.
