It may be a setting? I recall changing something, and now I get an aggregate email once a day, for ebooks that had a price. Free ebooks still send me an email within 5 minutes or so. I toss the "paid money" emails into a "Kindle" folder in my email, in case I want to know later.

I can't take it anymore. Improve yourselves with these fine books from Amazon.com.
Ross Petras and Kathryn Petras - You're Saying It Wrong: A Pronunciation Guide to the 150 Most Commonly Mispronounced Words--and Their Tangled Histories of Misuse for $2.99. Kliff Nesteroff - The Comedians: Drunks, Thieves, Scoundrels, and the History of American Comedy for $1.99. Laura J. Snyder - Eye of the Beholder: Johannes Vermeer, Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, and the Reinvention of Seeing for $1.99. Pay especially close attention to the second book. There ain't nearly enough drinking and thieving going on around here. |

Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly is on sale at Amazon US today for $2.99
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0166JFFD0/ I haven't read it, but have been hoping for it to go on sale. I think it has been widely acclaimed. Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind] by Yuval Noah Harari is also on sale today for $3.99 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ICN066A/ I also haven't read this and it seems to be quite controversial with large numbers of 5 star and 1 star reviews. Many of the 1 star reviews have lots of votes as helpful. Most of the complaints have to do with opinion mixed with science but allow that multiple viewpoints are presented. |

The Fifties by David Halberstam
The Fifties by David Halberstam is on sale by amazon in the US today only for $1.99
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AFVEYRY/ I recently finished it and found it excellent. The book deeply examines numerous selected important extended events in the 1950's from a (thoughtful, analytical) American point of view, including stage setting in the 1940's and consequences in the 1960's and beyond. The book was written in the 1990's, but Halberstam was a beginning journalist in the 1950's and still had copious notes from his coverage of the Southern USA at that time. He also interviewed many of the principal participants and observers during his research for the book. A few of the topics explored are war, politics, music, media, population shift, automobile culture, automobile manufacture, diplomacy, and business brand franchising. As usual for books with x-ray, there are numerous x-ray errors (but a small fraction of the total x-ray content). I am just getting started on documenting and fixing x-ray errors for The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, so I am not sure when I will have the fixes for The Fifties. |

These are self-published books by an author who has named himself "Language Learning University." Moreover, a quick look shows none of the five-star reviews, some of which appeared within days of publication, are verified purchases. You can post such deals if you want, but please, if you can't personally recommend them, not in a sticky thread.
