Downpour is having a summer sale, today through July 5.

It is frustratingly hard to navigate, as the sale books aren't in one place; I resorted to multiple searches on specific authors and titles. I did find several good books in the $5 range in spite of the lousy navigation; I'm sure there are many more that I'd consider based on price alone, if only I could find them!

'Nother book I paid nuttin' for that I could buy for $1.99 (but won't).

Also: the Kindle book only costs $1.99, and it's in KU with the 'read and listen' free option.

Hard to navigate is putting it mildly; it's a nightmare.

Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's coming-of-age, coming-out cocktail with a twist of terror. Thirteen-year-old Franklin Robertson is trying to survive adolescence. His parents don't understand him, his brother torments him, he has no friends, and he's more interested in the high school quarterback than any girl. The one bright spot in his life is the glow of the black-and-white TV in his parents' basement. Here, he worships at the altar of the Saturday Night Horror Movie, hosted by the eerie Dr. Cerberus. Before long, Franklin is convinced that only by going on the show will his life be redeemed—by Dr. Cerberus himself! An L.A. Theatre Works full cast performance featuring: Simon Helberg as Franklin Robertson Jamison Jones as Doctor Cerberus Steven Culp as Lawrence Robertson Pamela J. Gray as Lydia Robertson Jarrett Sleeper as Rodney Robertson Original music by Steven Cahill. Directed by Bart DeLorenzo.

FREE -- Openly Straight -- Bill Konigsberg/ P Cross --> 9.0 hrs --> LGBT fiction

Rafe is a normal teenager from Colorado. He's been out since 8th grade, accepted by his peers & championed by his progressive parents. And while that's important, all Rafe really wants is to be a regular guy. To have his sexuality be a part of who he is, but not the headline, every single time. So when Rafe transfers to an all-boys' boarding school in New England, he decides to keep his sexuality a secret -- not so much going back in the closet as starting over with a clean slate. But then he sees a classmate breaking down and realizes his own labels aren't well-concealed. And most of all, he falls in love with Ben...who doesn't even know that love is possible.

I was hoping it was just me missing something. Still, I'm happy to have gotten some good bargains.

With the Downpour sale and the AudiobookStand going-out-of-business sale, I had quite a buying binge yesterday.

Thanks for the heads up. What I ended doing (although it is a complicated & imperfect solution) was to:
-Select a category from Browse
-Go to the bottom of the page and click on "See All"
-Click on "+ Show Filters" (upper left)
-Clear the "Release Date" filter if desired (for some reason mine cuts off at 7/8/18)
-Go down to Price and set it for your cut off amount
-Set any other filters you would like

Notes:
-The Runtime filter isn't working for me, it shows 0 results any time I try to use it.
-The Price filter isn't perfect, some books have eBook copies and if they are below your chosen price they will show up.
-Most of the books below $5 are from Blackstone Publishing.

Hope this helps.

This is what I tried, but the problem is that when the results are returned, they can't be sorted by price (I went up to $10 on the filter), and, worse, all I got were the cover images and title/author; I can't see the price at all unless I click through, which is time-consuming. I don't see any way to change the view.

It really is a mess.

Yeah, not being able to see the price was really frustrating. I did discover that most Blackstone titles are that are on sale are $5.74 or below, and that all the Books In Motion & Brilliance titles that showed up under $10 (which was also my cut off) are $7.99

You can search by publisher
