Two Humble Bundle Offers that Aren’t RPG or Gaming Related – Smart Homes/Cities and UI/UX

Updated with the names of the charities and  links to the charities helped by both bundles. Updated September 12, 2018 with another blog post for a third Humble Bundle package that is software related: Humble Bundle Software Deal.

While Humble Bundle often focuses on Gaming or RPGs, it does offer bundles that aren’t related to those two areas. As usual, a portion of the price goes to charity: First Book – https://firstbook.org/  and Crisis Text Line – https://www.crisistextline.org/ for UI/UX bundle and Little Free Library – https://littlefreelibrary.org/ for the Smart Homes/Cities bundle.

Two new Humble Bundle offerings fall into non-gaming/non-RPGs. They are Smart Homes/Cities (offered by several publishers)and UI/UX Books (offered by Wiley, a book/ebook publisher and they offer print copies on their website: https://www.wiley.com/en-us/ – choose a different country if you are outside the U.S.A.).

For the UI/UX bundle, you can check it out at: https://www.humblebundle.com/books/ui-ux-books (non-affiliate link). Like most Humble Bundles, there are three tiers ($1, $8, and $15):
