November 22nd, 2010 · No Comments · ebook tools, sales
Only it’s not much of a sale. I compared Adobe’s price in their webstore with Amazon’s, and Amazon had the lower price 7 times out of 8. And for most of the items the difference was more than $50. But if you still want to buy from Adobe, here are the details: Save $50 off [...]
