Amazon's weekend price slashing is apparently in response to an Overstock.com promotion to offer "hundreds of thousands" of books at least "10% off Amazon's book prices." Most of the Amazon prices match to the penny what Overstock is charging, while in other cases they are close--and much higher discounts than Amazon usually offers. Overstock has said it will continue the anti-Amazon promotion "for a limited time" although its website says, "One week only."
