This is pretty funny.

I wonder if it was intentional.

Kindle owners are in luck this Cyber Monday, as Amazon is discounting over 800 ebooks to a fraction of their original prices.

Options include popular works of fiction like Go Set a Watchman, The Nightingale, The Paris Architect, and Ben Carson’s autobiography, as well as historical nonfiction like Atomic Accidents: A History of Nuclear Meltdowns and Disasters, and Not in Your Lifetime: The Defining Book on the J.F.K. Assassination.

Sorry, I should have clarified that. It's from the Lifehacker site.

I checked the text of the site and came up with hundreds of hits all over the web. I wondered at first if Amazon sent the text to its affiliates as a template post.

Guess not. Whoever did it is clever, though.
