Google Books uses the EPUB format. (So does the Kobo e-reader sold in Canada, which I think also reads PDF files directly.) Kindle can read PDF but you have to send the books to your Kindle's email id. It's not hard to do but it will take a few steps:

https://goodereader.com/blog/kindle/here-is-how-you-can-read-pdf-files-on-the-amazon-kindle

 

You can also use the e-reader program called Calibre to convert in some cases but that also takes a bit of work to get things set up. 

https://calibre-ebook.com/


I was going to recommend Calibre also.

It's a great program, isn't it? Nice way to manage e-books. 

 

And these Humble bundle books are said to be DRM-free (Digital Rights Management), which means that Calibre could easily convert between the different formats.  🙂

The Kindle version of Olia Hercules' book, Mamushka: Recipes from Ukraine and Eastern Europe (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) is currently $2.99 on Amazon in the US.  Sadly, not in Canada.  I actually wanted to purchase a hard copy from a local bookshop in order to support the author, but everyone is sold out. 

 

The Kindle version of Evan Funke's American Sfoglino: A Master Class in Handmade Pasta (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) is also $2.99 in the US and in Canada.  I have the hard copy of this book.  The guy is dogmatic about making the pasta by hand with specific ingredients but the recipes I've tried really show off the pasta to its best. 

 

The Kindle version of Crescent Dragonwagon's classic bean cookbook Bean by Bean: A Cookbook: More than 175 Recipes for Fresh Beans, Dried Beans, Cool Beans, Hot Beans, Savory Beans, Even Sweet Beans! (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) is $1.99 on Amazon in the US and in Canada

 

The Kindle version of @rancho_gordo's Heirloom Beans: Recipes from Rancho Gordo (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) is $2.99 in the US and in Canada.  Some favorite recipes that I make over and over in this one. 

 

The Kindle version of We Are La Cocina: Recipes in Pursuit of the American Dream (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) is $2.99 on Amazon in the US and Canada

There's also another Humble Bundle (the ones that @cdhintroduced us to) which includes Mamushka along with 29 other cookbooks for a price of $22.88 (or more, if you wish). You can also get Mamushka and 12 other books for $12.70.

Edited to add: I'm still trying to figure the Humble site out. I think those prices are Canadian, so maybe even less for US purchasers?

Actually, I just noticed that Big Flavors of New Orleans is also included in that Humble Bundle. Here is the complete list, ,copied after I downloaded to my laptop (no easy way to copy and paste the list from the Humble website).

Yeah, pretty hard to pass up this kind of offer when there are several interesting books included, right?  There are a few there that I am pleased to now have in my e-library. 

 

Thanks again to @cdhfor letting us know about Humble Bundles! 🙂

I picked up Anissa Helou's book. I also was reminded that I already had Andrés' and Liebowitz's books. :blush:

I just bought Kindle version of The Herbfarm Cookbook (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) by Jerry Traunfeld for $1.99. 
Lots of recipes organized by type of dish followed by sections on growing and buying herbs and about individual herbs. There are beautiful illustrations of the herbs but in this kindle version they are all oddly placed at the end.

Amanda Hesser's "The Essential New York Times Cookbook: Classic Recipes for a New Century" Kindle Edition $1.99US

 

I am a US Prime member and the price you see might vary.

 

Edited to add another eBook:

Steven Raichlen's "Barbecue Sauces, Rubs, and Marinades--Bastes, Butters & Glazes, Too" Kindle Edition $1.99US

 

Edited to also add I get a new message now when going to these ebooks on sale, stating that prices might vary by country and if I'm okay with the price I see, go ahead and buy.  Guess it's a corporate CYA statement...

 

Edited to add: Holy Bolognese, Batman! How did I miss seeing this?!

Thomas Keller's "Ad Hoc at Home (The Thomas Keller Library)" Kindle Edition $2.99US (normally $9.99US)

What would you recommend from these three? Which is the best? Forgive me if someone already asked, I did not read the entire thread😇

Apples and oranges, but I have three editions of the hardback NYT Cookbook, and that would be my choice.

Note that most of these ‘crazy' deals are offered for a limited time. Some for a month, some only a day or so and a few for longer. I don’t believe any of those 3 are still at the prices mentioned 4+ years ago.

Deals on this thread almost never last longer than a month... and some disappear right quickly.  I'm feeling guilty because AMZ presented me with Julia Child Vol2 for $1.99 over the weekend and I bought it, but didn't post here.  Today it's back up to $20.

AMZ = Amazon?  If it is, I wish I'd known.

@cdhgot me hooked on Humble Book Bundles.  🙂

 

I just bought a new one, called Grilling & Gardening 2022. It includes 32 books of which 15 are about gardening, 14 are about grilling/smoking/BBQ and then there a few cocktail books as well. You can pay as little as $23.17 Canadian (approx $18 US) for all of the books. 

 

If you do buy, note that I had a problem downloading the ePub version of Mastering the Art of Flower Gardening. I was doing a bulk download and it stalled when it got to that book. So I had to choose the PDF version and then restart the download of the remaining books. It wasn't a huge hassle, but I did let them know and hope they correct it for others. 

 

For the price, I will be perfectly happy browsing these.

The Kindle version of Sweet Paris: Seasonal Recipes from an American Baker in France (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) by Frank Adrian Barron is currently $1.99.  I received a hard copy of the book recently as a birthday gift.  Recipes are organized by season and, as befits a book by someone who's apparently well known from his Instagram account (@cakeboyparis), it's very prettily photographed. 

 

Same price for the Kindle version of One Tin Bakes: Sweet and simple traybakes, pies, bars and buns (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) by another baking boy, Edd Kimber.

 

The Kindle version of Julia Turshen's Small Victories: Recipes, Advice + Hundreds of Ideas for Home Cooking Triumphs  (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) is $2.99.  I wasn't particularly excited when this book was chosen for a cookbook group I participate in but it's got a lot of great, simple recipes and stuff better described as "ideas" than "recipes.  I go back to it regularly.

 

The Kindle version of Richard Olney's Simple French Food (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) is $1.99

The Official Downton Abbey Cookbook for fans of the show is selling for $1.99.

 

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B088WBGHGM?_bbid=66984166&tag=bookbubemailca-20

Thanks I bought it just because I think it might make an interesting read. I was never a huge fan of the show and was definitely a late-comer, and so saw only episodes here and there. But having relatives in the big houses (yes, of course downstairs!) I am sure I will get something out of it.
