Three 2020 releases with Kindle versions priced at $3.99 on both Amazon.com and Amazon.ca:

 

The Kindle version of Sami Tamimi's Falastin (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) 

 

The Kindle version of 100 Cookies (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) by Sarah Kieffer of The Vanilla Bean Baking Blog 

 

The Kindle version of Bryant Terry's Vegetable Kingdom: The Abundant World of Vegan Recipes (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) 

 

All are listed as "Deal of the Day" not sure what that means for the longevity of those prices.   Edited to strike out the books that are no longer bargain priced.

Apologies if these have been previously posted, I didn't search through the thread.

@blue_dolphin The cookie book caught my eye, until I remembered that our yearly mass Christmas cookie baking has come to an end.

 

I hear you - I bought the hard copy in anticipation of holiday baking that didn't happen.  Fingers crossed that I get some use out of it later this year!

Thanks.  I was planning to hold out for the hardcopy of Falastin.  I've paged through it at work.  It's a pretty book.  But for $3.99 I sprung for the Kindle edition.

A new month (already!) and a new crop of ecookbooks on sale. They're worth taking a look at...just 2 pages so it will go quickly. 

Unfortunately, a lot of them have been previously posted in the past. 
And others offer a small amount of recipes for the sale price and I didn't think they were worth posting. 

Your opinion may differ.

I'll keep an eye out for more bargains...

Most peculiar. I don’t have prime with amazon.com so that will not explain it. But it is still showing at $1.58. Maybe you’ve said something to upset Jeff?
