Book deals during Amazon Prime Day are a real page turner in 2020. What’s novel is the fact that we’re seeing discounts on both plain old paper books and audiobooks. We also have deals listed on e-readers.
We’re all spending a lot of time inside these days and as the colder months are setting in, so there’s nothing better than snuggling up on the couch with a good book (even if someone else is reading it to you).
Here at TechRadar, we’ve put together a list of the best Amazon Prime book deals for you to peruse below.
Don’t forget: you need a Prime membership to be eligible for the best Amazon Prime Day deals. The good news is you can also get access to the offers by signing up for a free 30-day Prime trial, if you haven’t done so before.
