Posted on 2016-02-15 at 15:55 by Sam

Another month, another #WhispersyncDeal roundup. First up, from the Monthly Deals listings, there are 161 that are Whispersync for Voice enabled. Here's what most caught my eye, a couple handfuls of science fiction and fantasy titles, one Finnish thriller, and a few YA novels:

  

Dawn (The Xenogenesis Trilogy Book 1) and Adulthood Rites (The Xenogenesis Trilogy Book 2) by Octavia E. Butler, read by Aldrich Barrett for $1.99+$3.49 each -- "In a world devastated by nuclear war with humanity on the edge of

There are 471 Whispersync-enabled titles in this month's Kindle Monthly Deal listings, 75 of them in the Science Fiction & Fantasy section. While quite a few of these we've seen before (Amazon's 47North and Brilliance Audio pipeline) there's one right at the top that's far and away my first pick this month: Kameron Hurley's Worldbreaker Saga, read by Liza Ross:

  

The Mirror Empire: Worldbreaker Saga 1 for $1.99+$3.49 and Empire Ascendant: Worldbreaker Saga #2 for $1.99+$2.99 are just ridiculous prices

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.

That's a lot of titles to comb through, so let me do some of the legwork for you, this

Rather than share/Tweet these four fantastic fiction deals one at a time, I figured I'd just quickly round them up here. Enjoy! But act fast, as these are only good through the wee hours after midnight tonight:

When Amazon.com advertised "Kindle" deals in its Prime Day previews, I was admittedly excited. Maybe hundreds -- no, thousands, surely! -- of titles on discount? But, no, it was a few Kindle devices, not ebook titles. Alas. Still, that surely leaves not just me with a few extra bucks to spend on this month's #WhispersyncDeal listings, so here we go, starting with some choice picks from this month's 50 Kindle Books for $2 Each listings; and don't wait too long to take advantage as most of these deals only
