There’s nothing like summer reading. Reading a new book beachside, poolside or during a summer trip is one of the best ways to soak up the sun, and Amazon — a retailer with bookstore origins — agrees.
To celebrate sunny days and page-turners, Amazon is kicking off a new savings event: the Amazon Book Sale. Beginning today, May 15, and running through May 20, shoppers can find major markdowns on must-read books of the season.
