GENERAL FAQ
What is Digital Book Today?
Digital Book Today was founded in 2009 with the goal of featuring the best Kindle book deals every day. A few of the daily deals featured on our website and newsletter be priced around $1, but there are always plenty of great free books too! Our Top 100 Free Kindle Books page is one of the most popular features on our website.
How long are books free or discounted on Amazon?
Generally, books maintain their price for 24 to 48 hours. On occasion, an author will increase their book’s price early so always verify a book’s price before downloading from Amazon.
Why aren’t there genre categories for your daily newsletter?
We are only listing the best of the best Kindle books each day, and we never know what genres will be represented. Many books also fall into multiple genres. Providing a non-genre-specific list will expose readers to books that they might enjoy even though they aren’t their typical reading genre.
Do I have to visit Digital Book Today every day to see your books?
No, you can subscribe to our newsletter and receive one email daily with our featured free books along with selected books that are on sale. Our newsletter is free and you may unsubscribe at any time. Sign up on this page or you can sign up on our homepage.
