That is good to know. I bought a couple weeks ago the ebook for Beginning iPhone game Development from apress for almost $30. Computer books get out dated so fast these days they just end up wasting space on my shelfs. I only get ebooks anymore when it comes to computers.

What we need is an app for that. That can push notify when these deals come out. I vote for balamw to create this free app

I vote for an RSS feed. Then any RSS reader would work. Even ones not on iOS. For those days when you take your MacBook Air out for some sightseeing.

OReilly has an RSS feed for their daily deal which I will add to the first post.
