Amazon offers big Kindle sales almost weekly, but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen so many bestselling books marked down at the same time. Smash hits like The Martian, The Girl on the Train, Ready Player One, Gone Girl, and Game of Thrones are all marked down to $2 each, but that’s really just the tip of the iceberg, so be sure to check out the full list.

Update: It looks like certain titles have risen in price since this was posted.

Anker makes some of the most popular charging gear in the world, and they’ve put several of their most popular items on sale today, including their brand new (and ridiculously powerful) PowerCore charger.

Anker PowerCore 15600 4.8A Power Bank ($25) | Amazon | Promo code RGNUEBLC

Anker Quick Charge 2.0 18W USB Turbo USB Wall Charger ($8) | Amazon | Promo code QPPAQPP5

Anker PowerDrive+ Quick Charge 2.0 Car Charger ($7) | Amazon | Promo code TUJG6XE6

Anker [5-Pack] Premium Micro USB Cables in Assorted Lengths ($7) | Amazon | Promo code 58OMPAJ3

Anker 20W 2-Port Wall Charger + MicroUSB Cable ($10) | Amazon | Add both to cart and use code PJ8MPK7N

This 8.1 channel sound bar is easily one of the best looking I’ve ever seen, and judging by its review average, it’s one of the best sounding models out there too. Today’s $240 price tag on Amazon is by far the best deal we’ve ever seen. [Samsung HW-H7501 8.1 Channel 320 Watt Wireless Audio Soundbar, $240]

A garbage disposal is one of those appliances you won’t be able to live without once you’ve had, and we rarely see deals on them.

Luckily, this Waste King L-8000 1.0 horsepower disposal is one of the best sellers in the category, the owner of a stellar 4.6 star review average, and on sale for an all-time low $88 today. This is a Gold Box deal though, so the price is only valid until the end of the day, or until sold out. [Waste King L-8000 Legend Series 1.0-Horsepower Continuous-Feed Garbage Disposal, $88]

If you like to tinker around under the hood of your car, this Craftsman mechanics tool set is down to $100 today, breaking the rarified $.50/tool barrier. [Craftsman 230-pc. Mechanic’s Tool Set, $100]

I hear nothing but good things about Roombas, and if you want to try one out yourself, a few high end models are on sale today on Amazon. The Roomba 870 is $90 off its usual price, the 880 is $105 off, and if you need a robotic mop to go with it, the Braava 380t is also discounted $45 from its usual price. [iRobot Sale]

If your car has an AUX jack, but not Bluetooth, this kit can add wireless streaming and handsfree calls for just $17. Even by our standards, that’s incredibly cheap for a kit like this, particularly one with NFC pairing. [GOgroove BlueGATE CTR Hands-Free Bluetooth Car Kit, $20 with code SAVEBLU1]

Whether you want a new case for your iPhone, or want to have one ready for the new models next month, Spigen is offering a free Lightning cable with your purchase of select cases on eBay today.

To get the deal: Add one of the following cases to your cart, then click the “Save when you bundle eligible items” link in your cart. You’ll be taken to a page with a listing for a Lightning cable; just add it to your cart, and you’ll get it for free with your case.

It’s 2015; your headphones don’t need stupid cords anymore. These highly-rated Skullcandy Hesh over ears are down to $60 on Amazon as part of a Gold Box deal today. That’s an all-time low, but be sure to grab a pair before they sell out. [Skullcandy Hesh 2 Bluetooth 4.0 Wireless Headphones with Mic, $60]

If you have to use a USB hub with your computer, it might as well be a nice looking one. [Etekcity USB 3.0 High Speed 4 Port Portable Aluminum Hub, $13 with code 4POUH3FF]

Deals on truly portable, USB-powered hard drives have mostly been limited to 2TB capacities and smaller, but today you can save $20 on the 3TB WD My Passport Ultra in the color of your choice. On a price-per-gigabyte basis, you could do better with a 5TB desktop hard drive, but if you don’t want to deal with an AC power supply, this is a fantastic deal. [3TB WD My Passport Ultra, $130]

Not only will this handlebar mount keep your phone safely strapped to the front of your bike, its built-in 6,000mAh power bank can also recharge while you ride. If you go on long treks to remote areas, that extra juice could be essential, especially if you use your phone as a GPS. [Bike Mount Phone Holder Charger- 6000Mah Power Bank, $55 with code NZGTPCL7]

The Mario Maker hype train is picking up steam, and if any of the recent teasers have convinced you to buy it, Prime members can still save $10 on their preorder. Just note that your discount won’t be shown until checkout. [Preorder Super Mario Maker, $50 for Prime members only]

If your home wireless network has a few dead spots, the cheapest option to extend your connectivity may be a powerline adapter.

All you have to do is attach one half of the kit to your router and plug it into a nearby AC outlet. Then, the second half of the unit can plug into any other outlet in your house, and provide you with a pair of live ethernet ports. In between, all the 1’s and 0’s are transmitted over your home’s existing electrical wiring. It’s so easy, it seems like cheating. [TP-LINK TL-PA4026 KIT AV500 2-port Powerline Starter Kit, $35 after $10 coupon]

I was a longtime user of the iOttie One Touch dash mount, which you voted as your favorite over on Kinja Co-Op, but I recently experimented with a magnetic alternative, and I have to say, I love the thing.

Unlike traditional suction cup-based mounts, this Mpow Grip ($5 today with code SUZXGDUN) won’t obscure your view of the road, and when your phone is mounted to it, it’s in fact completely invisible. A big worry about these things is that they’ll cover up a valuable vent during the hottest and coldest times of the year, but I’ve found that you can stick the mount on the very top of the vent, and the magnetic plate against the very bottom of you phone, and only block a small fraction of your airflow.

The big caveat is that you’ll probably only want to buy this if use a phone case, since your two mounting options are either placing a magnetic plate between the phone and the case, or attaching a non-removable magnetic sticker directly to the phone. As long as that’s not an issue though, this is certainly worth a try at $5. [Mpow Grip Smartphone Car Mount, $5 with code SUZXGDUN]

If your favorite (out of market) baseball team is still in the hunt for the playoffs, you can purchase a subscription to MLB.TV Premium for the rest of the regular season for just $10 today. For context, a monthly subscription normally costs $25, and there’s actually slightly more than a month left in the season. [MLB.TV]

Walmart just unveiled one of the best PS4 bundle deals we’ve seen to date. You’ll still pay the usual $400, but you’ll get everything below:

  • PS4 console with either Batman: Arkham Knight or The Last of Us: Remastered
  • Madden 16
  • A game of your choice from a selection of 10
  • 3 months of PlayStation Plus.

That $400 price tag might be stubborn, but it’s a lot easier to swallow when you get three games to start your collection. [PS4 Console + 3 Games + 3 Months PlayStation Plus, $400]

KMASHI’s ultra-cheap USB battery packs are some of the best-selling items we’ve ever posted, and you can choose from deals on two high capacity models today.

KMASHI 20,000mAh Dual USB Portable External Extended Battery Pack ($24) | Amazon | Promo code D8OGD73N

KMASHI 10,000mAh Dual USB Portable External Extended Battery Pack ($9) | Amazon | Promo code ME6ADK4L
