I keep putting off compiling the December Whispersync Deal roundup, but (1) a good chunk of titles are only on sale through Dec 14 and (2) I already missed passing along both that Andy Weir's The Martian was on sale for $3 and that Rachel Aaron's The Spirit Thief was on sale as well as John Shirley's Everything is Broken, on and on... and since I've no idea when/if some of this deals will disappear, I had better get on it! In that frame of mind, first up here's some deals on some fantastic, highly

Friday, March 21, 2014: Well, since my last big roundup (based on SFSignal's excellent monthly peek into discount Kindle listings) a new crop of titles to check out has gone on sale in a slightly roundabout way. Let's follow the chain:

• Barnes & Noble launched a Nook First in Series promotion, placing a whole bunch of "first in a series" ebooks on sale
• Amazon.com's price matching brings the Kindle price down to match
• Some of those titles have pretty nice Whispersync upgrade prices to the Audible edition
