Better Amazon browsing

Pretty much everything at Amazon is offered at a discount off the recommended retail price.  'Brand Name Coupons' has discovered that it's possible to search for specific levels of discounts, and even express those searches as direct URLs.

For example, here are books with 40% off the RRP, further sorted by reviews and 'bestselling' status. Use the 'Sort' option on the results page to find books in your chosen price range.

To save myself, and perhaps you, a little time, here are the direct links for the categories most relevant to me:

Books: 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10%
DVD: 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10%
Music: 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10%

You get the idea; I won't go on to itemise the other categories, but the same applies to 'Electronics & Photo', 'Gadgets', 'Home & Garden', 'PC & Video Games', 'Software', 'Toys & Kids' (Amazon sells goats?) and 'Travel'.

These links are to Amazon UK, of course; see 'Brand Name Coupons' for the Amazon US equivalents.
