From @juzim: "Not daily but regularly. Lots of indie books or the 1$ base tier on HumbleBundle. Amazon also has free books (but they are horrible). Storybundle.com often includes books by authors like Neil Gaiman. I think even O'Reilly has some free offers."

Just to keep track of your suggestions

Hello niqdev. Thanks for you nice script. What about adding parsing of Packtpub twitter account(https://twitter.com/PacktPub), they are publishing additional free books during the week. As example for today: https://www.packtpub.com/packt/free-ebook/practical-data-analysis Not sure do they have same in newsletters or not...

Hi @CrazySerGo! I like your idea, how often is the offer? Did you see any "parsing" rule to filter the tweet, that is not the daily or the newsletter? How would you suggest to implement it, an external service like the newsletter? Would you be interested in adding this feature?

Hi @niqdev. I'm novice in python, but it looks very interesting to implement this feature. Thanks for idea. I'll check how newsletter filer is working, collect more data and try to prepare working model.
