Kindle daily deal getting worse

[Cherrypi]

Is it just me or has the quality if the books chosen for the daily deal gone down? I used to buy at least one a week but haven't bought any for ages. Any theories to whats going on?

Could it be that the publishers are just pushing the books they can't sell?

Yes, I've noticed it too. Although it hasn't bothered me too much as it means I don't spend money

I always check the email first thing but these days I'm frequently and at their offerings. I got 13 books for under a tenner in their January sale though so I'm stocked up for the moment at least.

Actually, now you've said it, I agree. I haven't bought any for quite a while but still check the email each morning. I like to check as spending 99p isn't too much and it is so lovely to have something more to read. Just not what they are promoting lately.

Glad it's just not me. Not that I've run out of books or anything

It was rubbish for several weeks, but has suddenly got much, much better again. I tend to avoid the ones produced by Amazon imprints - Amazon Crossing, Thomas and Mercer, etc, unless people I know have something good to say about them, or occasionally they're reprints of books I actually wanted to read.

Hi
Yes I have noticed that the deals are dwindling and I have also noticed that they do not always have the new books that have just come out and they are no cheaper to download to kindle than they are to buy. But I still find something good to read, would be lost without my kindle as I get all emails etc on there too

I started buying around Christmas time so there were lots of cheap books around. I've noticed the prices really creeping up in the past couple of months and definitely agree about the quality of the books on offer declining. Children's picture books in particular seem to have increased in price. Finding it hard to find anything good for less than £2.99 and I have for the first time been returning books I don't like.

I've given up on Amazon reads too, and subscribe to www.dailycheapreads.co.uk/ and buy at least once week. Freya North 99p today

This is a dry spell. I found the sci fic deals quite tempting. Romance deals, not so much.

It goes up and down, I find.

It's dire at the moment, yes. Think I'll unsubscribe from the daily email they send.

mindingalongtime thanks for posting the link. That website looks miles better than Amazon daily deals.

You could try www.smashwords.com. They have free books to download to any device.

Yes, I think it's got pretty poor. I was spending £3 a week but it's now maybe that a month.

I had an email from amazon about a new book by Dana Stabenow available to pre-order in paperback, so I ordered it even tho it was really expensive, as I love her series. Only to find when i was sat on my holiday lounger by the pool that it wasn't new at all but was a reprint of the fourth book in the series, several years old and I had read it years ago.
Really annoying. They don't seem to be linking up kindle purchases with 'real' book buys even when they are purchased on the same amazon account with the same amazon credit card.
