Once upon a time, a partially bald man named Jeff Bezos decided to launch an online book store. Thirty years later, and that store has evolved into a digital everything store. Amazon now makes Oscar-winning movies, provides healthcare services, delivers groceries, and sells smart home gadgets galore.
During Amazon’s annual Prime Day event, professional deal hunters spend a lot of time focusing on gadgets, tech, and kitchen appliances. That’s where we typically find the biggest discounts. But in all the hubbub of Prime Day 2024, you may have missed that one of Amazon’s biggest sections was also full of deals. We’re talking about books, obviously. And because quite a few of our readers are interested in science-fiction and fantasy, we wanted to give you a heads up that plenty of sci-fi bucket-list novels are on sale right now.
We’re finding titles by legendary authors like Stephen King and Frank Herbert available at up to 60% off. You can also find contemporary titles like Three Body Problem and Project Hail Mary discounted by 57%. Now, because a lot of Amazon discounts are of the “always-on” variety, not all of these discounts are quite as big as they appear to be. But there are plenty of genuine deals.
Case in point, the paperback version of Jeff VanderMeer’s Annihilation is 61% off. It’s new $6.99 price is the lowest it’s ever been on Amazon. The same goes for Stephen King’s The Shining sequel, Doctor Sleep. The hardcover edition is discounted by 65%, bringing it to a record low for Amazon.
The discounts span paperback, hardcover, box sets, and Kindle. So if there’s a book that’s been on your reading list for too long, there’s a good chance it’s on sale right now. Check out some of our favorite discounted reads below.
