I had David Flanagan's O'Reilly Jquery Pocket Reference show up, but it was $2.99 vs $8.49.

The only other one was a Charles Williams novel which was $2.99 vs $7.99.

The deals are a little anemic. A $5 discount just seems weak. As was mentioned above, this is very nearly full price already. In fact, there are used paperback copies available for $2.09 from the Amazon Sellers.

So far, I'm pretty underwhelmed. Just a quick browse through the available books, the pickings are pretty slim. Lots of pulp novels, not a lot of newer stuff.

It's a step in the right direction, but it isn't really there yet. I'm hoping Amazon can show publishers the light.
