Curious but does Amazon ever have daily deals with Non fiction books or are the majority of the deals usually fiction books?
They’re almost always fiction ebooks unless they’re doing a specific deal for textbooks or research type books, which doesn’t seem to happen very often.
This is one of my biggest annoyances with Amazon. They seem to think everybody reads nothing but Sci-Fi or romance novels. Non-fiction is wholly unrepresented in their specials. I read a lot of non-fiction and I have to usually put out $12.99 for titles vs. $3.99 to $6.99, or less for fiction. I think $12.99 is crazy for an ebook.
