I haven't mentioned this in a while, and MobileRead's probably gotten quite a few more followers, if not members, since then.

Your best shot at getting a bunch of great WS deals is with the weekly Kindle exclusives. My goal in this post mainly is to prove that point.

About this time each week, I get a list from Amazon, of their Kindle exclusives. I just opened an email message, that I just received, with their current ones.

I did a filter or sort--whatever it is--to return only ebooks with audio narration, and checked _the very first hit_. It's a thriller or mystery or horror, or something like that--it doesn't matter (see paragraph #2 again).

It's got an average rating of about 4.5 stars. A _huge_ number of people must like the book--it's got 14,000+ ratings! Oh yeah, I should mention that this is no wimp of a book--it's got 402 pages.

The price of the ebook is $1.99; the price of the audio is $1.99. The total price for the WS deal--_$3.98_! How often do you see a WS deal that cheap? But they're commonplace_ with the weekly Kindle exclusive ebooks! And, I should add, they're very easy to find (locate).

If you're wanting to find out what the Kindle exclusives are each week, the simpliest way is to get on Amazon's mailing list for them. It's been so many years since I signed up, that I don't remember how I did it. Maybe some kind soul knows, or will find out, and let us know. I'm sure that tubemonkey knows (to you newbies--tubemonkey knows _everything_ about audiobooks (I'm sure that if he lived in Rome in the late B.C. or early A.D. years, the Senate would have proclaimed him a god)), and maybe he'll read this post.
