BookBub aims to match readers, discounts - The Boston Globe

An option for tracking new book titles (and discounts)

"The company’s book discovery platform starts by users creating a profile of their literature tastes. It then informs users — through its website and a daily deals e-mail — about books in their favorite genres and categories that are being discounted by publishers for a limited time. The e-book deals highlighted in the e-mails and online are curated by teams of BookBub researchers who pore over more than 100 discounted submissions each day, choosing the best 10 and 20 to feature. [...] Founder Collective’s Eric Paley said that “it’s pretty amazing what BookBub has done. They’ve become the primary independent channel for publishers and authors to promote their books.”"
