For those who prefer audiobooks, consider checking your local library through apps like Libby, or explore Audible, which often offers discounted memberships during events like Prime Day—coming up again this summer. For now, though, $2 for a high-quality eBook is an unbeatable deal.

Other notable titles on sale include Dan Brown’s Inferno—yes, the one that became a film—and The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury, author of Fahrenheit 451, which also earned its place on the big screen. All three—Project Hail Mary, Inferno, and The Martian Chronicles—are now just $1.99, making this a prime opportunity to pick up some modern and classic sci-fi at a fraction of the cost.

Also included are several top-selling eBooks priced at $2 or less, many pulled directly from Amazon’s bestseller charts, so you know they’re crowd favorites.

Amazon’s broader "Buy 1, Get 1 50% Off" promotion spans books, movies, and more, so you’re not restricted to pairing similar items. For example, you could pair a bestselling hardcover with a 4K Blu-ray and get 50% off the lower-priced item. It’s a smart way to grab a Father’s Day gift while treating yourself too.

To qualify for the discount, both items must be added to your cart and purchased together. The full list of eligible items is vast, and while some top picks are easy to spot, others are buried a few pages deep—so use the search bar or browse through categories to uncover hidden gems.

Standout picks include Sunrise on the Reaping, the latest Hunger Games prequel that’s already a 2025 bestseller and set for a film adaptation, as well as a complete Hunger Games paperback box set. Whether you're diving into dystopian fiction or building a sci-fi library, now is the perfect time to stock up.
