Until 8 PM Eastern Time tonight (July 28th) publisher
Verso Books are having a 90% off sale on all e-books in their catalogue. They mainly publish quasi-academic stuff like topical current events/politics and history, arts & culture studies, social issues, etc., and also have a selection of world literature. We've previously received this book from them free:
Violent Borders: Refugees and the Right to Move, which seems pretty typical of their catalogue.
The sale takes most of their catalogue down to less than $2 CAD. They sell their files watermarked with your personal info, but otherwise DRM-free, available in both ePub and Mobi. Prices are charged in USD, but can be displayed in a choice of currencies, and payment is via credit card (no Paypal or other option, last I checked, though that may have changed in the meantime). Almost everything is available worldwide, but some titles are geo-restricted due to competing rights. Purchase of a paper book entitles you to a free copy of the ebook, but they have better 50% off sales for those more regularly.
Link to filter for just their ebooks (using the side categories will just take you to the regular catalogue pages), and

Some items potentially of interest, which showcase the available diversity:
Raymond Chandler: The Detections of Totality (literary theory),
The Notebook &
The Lives of Things by the late Nobel Prize-winner José Saramago, a short story collection and a memoir of the last year of his life, respectively,
Masks of Anarchy: The Story of a Radical Poem, from Percy Shelley to the Triangle Factory Fire, a graphic novel format history,
The Art of Asking Your Boss For A Raise by pioneering experimental literary author Georges Perec (the famous story he wrote without any punctuation whatsoever, based on a decision-making flowchart, which is actually pretty nifty),
The Verso World History Series which looks to have a nice range of books exploring key turning points in development at various places and points.
