Probably none. Amazon collects massive amounts of data from the store and they wouldn't keep doing these if they didn't ultimately make more money than they're offering in discounts.

I stopped looking at them, since I rarely read anymore. (Depression took that away from me.
) I just checked and it's $6 on $25. They may have stopped doing the $3 on $10. Maybe it wasn't profitable for them?
