Title: Humblebundle: Arduino & Raspberry Pi ebooks for as little as $1 USD
Post by: Jason on February 22, 2017, 05:00:54 PM
Humble Bundle pulls together apps, ebooks, games, and more twice a month. Right now they have Arduino & Raspberry Pi ebooks bundle. For as little as $1 you can get 7 books. Eight dollars will get you those + 5 more while $15 or more gets you another 7 books for a grand total of 19 books. Most of them are Arduino-related but even the cheapest bundle has a Make book with at least one Raspberry Pi project. Not a bad deal for a buck.

And if you're thinking they're just trying to scam your email address and sell it, they're not. I've used them for years.

You also get to choose how much goes to the company offering the deal and how much goes to charity.

Wow, Jason; that's cool! <^8# I may just have to try this, but I'm afraid it won't be long before my tablet's full... (I should be able to copy them off onto some other storage, though...)

I can't remember. Is your tablet Android? If so, you can put them on Google Play and when it syncs it only downloads the one you happen to be reading at the time (or the ones you choose to download).
