The Daily Deal today at Amazon US is 148 non-fiction titles ranging all the way from military history to biographies to mental health to cookbooks - and sadly even one conspiracy theory book...

But overall, it's a good selection, and I spotted several books I already have and have enjoyed, and a few more to try (of course ). And many seem to be price-matched at Kobo US as well.

Here are links to the deal webpage:
Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/b?node=7533915011
Kindle US/Smile: https://smile.amazon.com/b?node=7533915011

And here are individual links to just a few that I noticed:

The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion by Jonathan Haidt, $1.99 (Read and thought it was great)
Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0052FF7YM
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the...s-and-religion

Prisoners of the Castle: An Epic Story of Survival and Escape from Colditz, the Nazis' Fortress Prison by Ben Macintyre, $2.99 (I've read and enjoyed a couple of his other books...)
Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09NLPP1CP
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/pri...-of-the-castle

The Opium War: Drugs, Dreams, and the Making of Modern China by Julia Lovell, $2.99 (I had a prof in college who wrote a book about this, which we of course had to read. It was actually pretty good, but didn't follow on much beyond the immediate impacts of the war. So I'm debating whether the "Making of Modern China" part of this book might be interesting enough to be worth buying it...)
Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MW9T64Q
Kobo US: not price-matched, at least as of now

Brunelleschi's Dome: How a Renaissance Genius Reinvented Architecture by Ross King, $2.99 (Read it, loved it, have waxed poetic about it elsewhere in this thread...)
Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DUVKOUW
Kobo US: not price-matched, at least as of now

Adriatic: A Concert of Civilizations at the End of the Modern Age by Robert D. Kaplan, $2.99 (have read a couple of other histories of the area, but not one focused on "recent" historical times, debating whether to try it)
Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0998RHFWL
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/adriatic

The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration by Isabel Wilkerson, $2.99 (great book)
Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003EY7JGM
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the...reat-migration

A Taste for Poison: Eleven Deadly Molecules and the Killers Who Used Them by Neil Bradbury (sounds like it would be useful if I wrote, rather than read, murder mysteries...)
Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08R2KXHGP
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/a-taste-for-poison-3

The Science of Murder: The Forensics of Agatha Christie by Carla Valentine, $2.99 (seems like another one for would-be mystery writers)
Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09WJNR2CP
Kobo US: not price-matched, at least as of now

The Ancient Guide to Modern Life by Natalie Haynes, $2.99 (the same Natalie Haynes of A Thousand Ships, The Children of Jocasta, etc...)
Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NGQ8W9T
Kobo US: not price-matched, at least as of now

Life with Picasso by Françoise Gilot ('nuff said), $1.99
Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H71QJ8M
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/life-with-picasso-1

Darling Monster: The Letters of Lady Diana Cooper to Son John Julius Norwich, 1939–1952 by Diana Cooper, $2.99 (I've read and enjoyed several of Norwich's histories, debating whether that makes me want to read this enough to buy it...)
Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P8DGQWH

And related to the above, but not part of the sale (semi-long-term at $2.99):
The Duff Cooper Diaries: 1915-1951 by John Julius Norwich
Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IX5CNPY
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the...oper-diaries-1

Madam Speaker: Nancy Pelosi and the Lessons of Power by Susan Page, $2.99 (missed this when it was on sale before, so glad to see it on sale again...)
Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FHX86HN
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/madam-speaker-2

Whew! And there are lots more too...
