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

OCTOBER 22-28, 2014: What was already an absolutely packed release week for concurrent new releases (Gibson, Faber, Rothfuss, Martin, Rice) and already with one back-list gem (Lewis Shiner's Frontera) includes the magnificent surprise of China Mieville's The Scar and Iron Council finally coming to US audio. It's been over a year and a half since I last fully turned my attention to the digital regional divide and these are two right from the top of the overseas wishlist, though in the meantime, several more

JUNE 11-17, 2014: There is an absolute avalanche of outstanding audio this week, comprised mostly of audiobooks we've been anticipating for a good while now, but led by a breathtaking surprise: Terry Bisson's 1993 collection Bears Discover Fire and Other Stories. There's high-end sf (Cibola Burn, The Long Mars, On the Steel Breeze), there's historically-set fantasy (The Quick), there's comedic fantasy (Spell or High Water) and urban fantasy (Shattered, Half-Off Ragnarok) and an sf/thriller hyrbid (A Better

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

Another peek overseas at Audible UK and the digital divide
Posted on 2012-04-09 at 15:46 by Sam
Early last month, I wrote a bit about the regional digital divide, which sees Audible UK members having some excellent sf/f titles which Audible US members don’t have access to, from Songs of the Earth, to The Scar: New Crobuzon, Book 2 and Iron Council: New Crobuzon, Book 3 By Rivers of London and Moon Over Soho By Blue Remembered Earth By
