Took a long time to recognize the benefits of Kindle.  Light-weight, portable and saves a lot of shelf space, especially when there is no shelf space left.

There are countless really good, cheap,  military books out at Amazon.    Boardgame Geek’s  Daily Kindle Deal is a great resource that identifies on-sale titles.  It makes dropping cash way too easy.   I’ve set a limit of $2.99 for a book, but that has to be a really good one, with most of my purchases at $1.99.

Which brings me to the point of this post…..

A few years ago I started seriously reading about naval warfare.  At first, it was historical, but now I am equally interested in current naval affairs.  The genesis of that interest must have been my cruise experiences arriving in ports and seeing warships berthed there.

One of the leaders in both historical and current naval affairs  is Seaforth Publishing.  Many of their titles have been available on Kindle for pennies on the dollar.  Yes, the format may not be that great as the books are illustration heavy, but the scope of their titles is fantastic.  Print copies are available from time-to-time at a significant discount, also.

Another great source is Naval Institute Press.  The books are spendy, so it’s an annual resource for me.   They have a Holiday Season sale in December where many of their titles are fifty (50) percent off, with free shipping!

Here’s a quick picture of my modern naval purchases.
