Posted on 2016-08-30 at 16:07 by Sam

August is almost over, which means it's #WhispersyncDeal roundup time! Before I get to the regular Monthly Deals in Kindle Books and 50 Kindle Book Deals for $2 Each listings, and the huge list of titles in Audible's "3 years of daily deals" sale, though, a completely separate deal headlines my picks this month:

Per Tor and Tor.com editor Marco Palmieri, Max Gladstone's Craft Sequence is moving from Tor Books to Tor.com Publishing, and the series-wide $4.99 sale continues through August. The bad news is

Whispersync Deal Roundup: Patrick Rothfuss, Jonathan Maberry, Ben H. Winters, Gail Z. Martin, and more

Posted on 2014-03-21 at 20:30 by Sam

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

Release Week: David Niall Wilson's Killer Green, Martha Wells' Razor's Edge, Hugh Howey's Dust, and Tim Lebbon's London Eye

Posted on 2013-10-02 at 14:25 by Sam

SEPTEMBER 25-OCTOBER 1, 2013: After two weeks of huge releases to end September, October tiptoes in with a quieter slate, though with a quite loud (to me) "missing in audio" title, Ann Leckie's space opera Ancillary Justice. Still, some intriguing releases this week to check out, whether it's unique noir/sf mashup, a new Star Wars tie-in, the conclusion of Hugh Howey's Wool series, or Tim Lebbon's take on a toxic, blasted London. Enjoy!

PICKS OF THE WEEK:
