While I'm putting the finishing touches on the full #WhispersyncDeal roundup of the Monthly Deals in Kindle Books, today's crop of Daily Deal eBooks with Audible Narration is too good to just share out one Tweet at a time. Feast your eyes and ears on:

I'm getting this roundup just, barely, under the wire, as the main roundup expires at midnight on March 31. So... without further adieu, here's what most catches my #WhispersyncDeal-attuned eyes and ears among the 218 eBooks with Audible Narration in the March Monthly Deals in Kindle Books:

A Natural History of Dragons: A Memoir by Lady Trent by Marie Brennan, read by Kate Reading for $2.99+$3.99 NOTE: it looks like the Audible add-on portion of this price changed to $12.99? or? I somehow had the wrong

All right! February's Monthly Deals listings, of which 269 are eBooks with Audible Narration, aren't actually that long in terms of what I would call outstanding #WhispersyncDeal titles. But! A solid dozen are well worth checking out, starting with some time travel:

Kindred by Octavia Butler, read by Kim Staunton for $2.99+$3.49 -- "Dana, a modern black woman, is celebrating her twenty-sixth birthday with her new husband when she is snatched abruptly from her home in California and transported to the

The first #WhispersyncDeal roundup of 2017 is here! As usual I'll run down my picks among this month's Whispersync-for-voice-enabled Monthly Deals in Kindle Books, also known now as eBooks with Audible Narration, of which there are 536 to scan through this month. Well, I'm going to keep calling them "Whispersync deals", and here's what most caught my eye and ear this month; don't wait too long as these deals expire on January 31:

In addition to the month-long December deals, Amazon.com has a pretty darned good lineup of Kindle Daily Deals today, including 26 Whispersync for Voice enabled titles. Here's a quick roundup of the best deals on the best titles:

Posted on 2016-11-28 at 21:46 by Sam

Today's "Cyber Monday" Kindle Daily Deals listings number in the hundreds -- over 400, actually. It's a lot to look through, especially with the wonky "paging" (with no apparent "see all" or category search links!) for the sale. But, have no fear! As I did just recently with the monthly November #WhispersyncDeal roundup, which is still ongoing through Wednesday so don't miss that, either, I took a glance through and found the best deals on the best books. Here we go:

Seveneves: A Novel by Neal

Before November runs out, take the take to take a break from Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping and pick up a little something for yourself for those long, dark winter nights. There are 510 Whispersync-enabled audiobooks in this month's Monthly Deals in Kindle Books listings, which is a very, very big number. Here's what most catches my eye and ear this month:

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood, read by Claire Danes for Audible for $2.99+$3.99 "[A] novel of such power that the reader will be

It's a pretty lean month for the #WhispersyncDeal monthly roundup, making yet another "almost too late to be useful" post pretty ridiculous. When I finally started looking at the deals in the monthly $3.99 or Less and 50 Kindle Books for $2 Each listings between innings of the Cubs World Series games (yes I just typed that!) I almost decided to just go ahead and skip the month. While great, we've seen Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle and Slaughter-House Five and Richard Matheson's I Am Legend before quite a few
