We have another variant of the Kindle eBook Credit offer. This is YMMV, may be only pre-selected customers and requires simple offer activation (eg by visiting the offer page while logged on to your designated Amazon account).
The offer this time is this: spend $15+ and get a $5 ebook promotional credit that must be spent within 21 days of issuance.
The purchase window to get to $15+ is June 13-24 in 2022. As in previous incarnations, the whole purchase window counts as long as you activate the offer within the window. So if you activate on the 23rd, all purchases from the 13th on-wards still count towards the $15+ target…
We have a Return of the Recurring Kindle e-book offer. This is YMMV as it is by invitation. I saw it as an in-page banner while surfing around the Amazon website.
The terms are as before. You must spend $25+ in Kindle e-books between May 21-28 in 2022. If so, you will receive a $6 promotional Kindle e-book store credit.
The offer counts the whole time period of 21-28 regardless of when you activate the offer, as long as you activate it during this window. Meaning if you active it on the 28th, all your purchases made 21-28 count towards the $25+ limit.
The offer only works for and on Kindle e-books. Terms and conditions and restrictions are listed at the promotional page…

If there any Kindle ebooks, photography or otherwise, you want to buy, and they never go on sale, this recurring promotion might give you an extra boost.
I do not know if this is targeted or offered to all Amazon customers so YMMV.
Between March 21-28 in 2022, if you make $25+ in Kindle ebook purchases, you will receive a $6 promotional ebook credit to be spent on future ebook purchases.
If you are logged on to your Amazon account, this promotional page will tell you if you are eligible.
You have to activate the offer, either by visiting the above page (auto-activation) or clicking something (eg a banner on the Amazon website mentioning the promotion).
The great thing about this offer is that it is retroactive. For example if you activate it on March 27, all purchases you made between March 21-28 count towards the offer.
Friday Only: Stock Up on Tolkien
Thanks to the above promotion, if you want to stock up on J. R. R. R. R. Tolkien ebooks, for Friday 3/25/22 in the pacific time zone, Amazon has a sale on 19 Tolkien e-books including the famous ones (LOTR, Hobbit). These will likely become very trendy again once September comes and Amazon’s new half-a-billion Lord of the Rings TV series rolls out…
This recurring offer is …recurring at Amazon. Running until January 28 in 2022, if you buy $25+ in Kindle ebooks during the promotional period, you will earn a $6 promotional eBook credit. The offer needs activation by either clicking on the banner of the offer or the button on the page. Needless to say, you must needs be logged on to the Amazon account that will be using this promotion.
Here are the details of the promotion… As usual, the offer may be YMMV depending on how the big AI machine in the Bezosverse decides to offer the promotion…
The ebook Sontag: Her Life and Work by Benjamin Moser is on sale for $3 at Amazon for the Kindle. This is 793 pages, September 2019, published by Ecco [no, not the shoe company?]…
As of the time of writing this averages 4.6 out of 5 based on 221 ratings. This is part of a limited time Kindle sale but it is not part of the daily deals, so I do not know the exact expiration date of the offer…
Among the latest Kindle e-offerings is this nearly-700 page DK ebook, “The Physics Book: Big Ideas Simply Explained” offered for $2. You can “Look Inside” to get a feel for the book and listen to the Audible audiobook sample.
These are of course the big DK coffee-table style books, but this is an ebook, so given that, they are best read on bigger color screens if you want to enjoy the graphics and charts and pictures and such. But if you mostly care for the text, you can read it on the Kindle e-reader too.
As of the time of writing this averages 4.7 out of 5 based on 779 customer ratings.
The link to photography is of course light, plus the physics of camera and lens design and such.
I am tempted to get it after I go through the sample.
UPDATE: a few more of the Big Ideals Simply Explained ebooks are also on sale for $2 each including Ecology, Feminism, History, Religions, Classical Music, Crime Book, Shakespeare, Politics (or as Kinky Friedman called them, poly-ticks), etc. There are at least 20 ebooks in this DK series but only some of them are on sale…
PS: this may be the perfect excuse to justify getting a new 13-inch iPad. “Honey, I need a large screen iPad to read my science books!” 😉
PS2: I’m not sure if this is a daily deal or part of the longer running “Kindle deals” that may last from weeks to a month.
Good until Friday 9/3/21 at 11:59pm pacific time [ebooks do not run out, technical issues aside], for $2 you can have the “Digital Photography Complete Course: Learn Everything You Need to Know in 20 Weeks” ebook by DK, publication date January 2021, 359 pages.
You can take a look at the first pages of the ebook using the Kindle sample, or use the “Look Inside” feature on the webpage to jump around inside the ebook. This is a rich content/images/graphics ebook, best read on bigger tablets and computer screens…

Into the Amazon Gold Box of Thursday 12/24/20 we go where among their Kindle daily deals they have a camera-guide-book on sale for $3.99! It is the Nikon D3500 for Dummies, Kindle edition ebook by Julie Adair King! This has 352 pages (just over a penny per page!), it is a larger file size obviously (lots of diagrams and such) and was published almost exactly two years ago.
As of the time of writing it averages 4.7 out of 5 based on 739 customer ratings (mix of written reviews and star-ratings-only). You can “Look Inside” to jump around the ebook, and you can also send a sample to your Kindle. The Kindle samples are almost always the start of the book, while the “Look Inside” allows you to randomly jump around.
PS: if you have the Kindle Unlimited Subscription, one of the Nikon D3500 ebooks can be borrow-read from there, the Nikon D3500 User Guide by Owen Giden. This is 99 pages long, published a couple of weeks ago. This book does not offer a jump-around “Look Inside”, just the Kindle sample. It has zero customer ratings but if you have a Kindle Unlimited subscription you lose nothing by borrowing it…
