If you've recovered from last month's #WhispersyncDeal haul (including Audible's and Downpour's week-long sales around Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and Tantor's annual Cyber Monday sale) and Audible's "Big Thanks" sale earlier this month, then let me tell you, the year's going out with a huge bang. Of the more than 1000 titles in this month's Kindle deals listings, a whopping 390 are enabled with Whispersync for Voice.

UPDATE 2017-12-07: Yup, I’m “re-using” this post yet again for Audible’s latest members-only 50% off sale, which ends in one week, on December 14, 2017 at 11:59 PM PT (US). Don't be confused by either last year's sale end date (December 14, 2016) or the year before that's sale end date (December 16, 2015) and miss out.

I mentioned this already near the end of last month's #WhispersyncDeal roundup, but I figured I would expand things a bit and offer up one last reminder that Downpour.com's "Black Friday" sale extended well beyond the one day, and finally does end tonight (Thursday, December 3). There's plenty of titles well below credit cost, and pre-orders (!!) and rentals are also included. One I’d recommend, right off the bat?

I mentioned this already in the midst of last month's #WhispersyncDeal roundup, but it bears repeating once more, with feeling: here's my picks from Audible’s “Treat Yourself” $4.95 sale, which ends December 2, 2015 at 11:59 PM PT:
