Technology Books – Deals of the Day

I check the following sites most days for their deals of the day on technology books.  These days I’m typically in the market for eBooks, and it is almost too easy to buy them.  Even with some great deals I can find I’ve spent more than intended by the end of the week!  I also find that I have a hard time keeping up with reading the books that I’m buying.

O’Reilly – http://oreilly.com – You’ll see their deal on the home page

Microsoft Press – http://microsoftpress.oreilly.com – See the deal on the home page

Manning – http://www.manning.com – They also show their deal on the home page

APress – http://www.apress.com – Follow the link to their deal from the home page

InformIT – http://www.informit.com – They also show the deal on the home page

Even though these are listed as ‘deal-of-the-day’ not all of the publishers actually change the offer each day.

You can follow most of these sites/deals on Twitter and/or subscribe to a feed of their deals.

As I’ve mentioned in other posts I really like how O’Reilly is managing their eBook deals.  And I am much more likely to purchase a book when it is available in multiple formats – pdf for use on my laptop, ePub/mobi for use with my eReaders.

Please let me know of other sites that you watch for deals on technology books!
