LivingSocial is new, Travelzoo's been around since Aug, Audible since May, and Groupon since Apr.

I went from HSN to LivingSocial after a few days. The wait made no difference in my eligibility.

I'm no longer eligible for any of these offers; I've used them all. At the end of the month, I'll cancel LivingSocial and wait for the next round of new offers.

Tubemonkey, have you ever stopped to add up all of the gazillions of dollars that you have saved us, because of your posts?

Thanks. I've already done Groupon, but I'll give LivingSocial a try once I cancel my current plan.

Thanks - added to OP under Misc Free Books near the bottom

FREE -- The Martian Prequel -- Andy Weir/ RC Bray --> 9 min

PAID -- The Martian -- Andy Weir/ RC Bray --> 10.9 hrs

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars.

Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there.

After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive.

Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plainold "human error" are much more likely to kill him first.

But Mark isn't ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills - and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit - he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?"

If this book goes up in price in the next few hours, I'm going to be perturbed. It's been marked down for I'm sure a week or more. I kept a tab for the book open in my web browser, should I "need" something to post.

I've decided to post it as a Whispersync deal. With the ebook portion marked down to only $1.99 right now, the deal is only $6.48. That's "only" 57% off of the price of the audio alone at Audible, but that is an exceptionally low regular price, if you ask me. Too, don't forget that you get the ebook thrown in with the deal (more and more I see the advantages of having both around, if at all possible).

Well, you can see all of the good things about the Whispersync deal, below. It's got all of the requisite characteristics--low price, high reviews, etc., etc.

FYI--the book was copyrighted, and published, prior to Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011.

Title: Atomic Awakening: A New Look at the History and Future of Nuclear Power.
Genre: Non-Fiction (Science).
Author(s): James Mahaffey.
Price: $6.48 ($1.99 ebook (marked down) + $4.49 Whispersync audio).
Regular Price of Audio, by Itself, at Audible: $14.95 (1 credit).
Ebook Rating/Number of Reviews: 4.7 stars/55 reviews (Amazon).
Audio Rating/Number of Ratings: 4.5/95 ratings.
Pages/Audio Length: 369/11 hours and 44 minutes.
Narrator(s): John McLain.
Audible URL: http://www.audible.com/pd/Science-Te...ok/B00F68KD58/.
Amazon URL (you can get the whole Whispersync deal here): https://www.amazon.com/Atomic-Awaken.../dp/B004GUS68I.
Comments: #1 seller in one Kindle store category.
Book Description (Amazon):
The American public's introduction to nuclear technology was manifested in destruction and death. With Hiroshima and the Cold War still ringing in our ears, our perception of all things nuclear is seen through the lens of weapons development. Nuclear power is full of mind-bending theories, deep secrets, and the misdirection of public consciousness, some deliberate, some accidental. The result of this fixation on bombs and fallout is that the development of a non-polluting, renewable energy source stands frozen in time.

Outlining nuclear energy's discovery and applications throughout history, Mahaffey's brilliant and accessible book is essential to understanding the astounding phenomenon of nuclear power in an age where renewable energy and climate change have become the defining concerns of the twenty-first century.

Trevor Noah's new book: Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood is free with the promo code ACRIME1. It expires on 1/31/2017

P.S: I can't seem to get it to work on the promo section, a workaround: I add the book on my cart and click on the promotional code. After that I remove the original version.

A ton of books are free from Open Road Media. I do not know how long the promotion will last so grab them while you can. The reason I am posting this here is there are a lot of titles you can grab the audiobook for cheap if you grab the free book. I have looked through the first few pages and I have gotten at least 10 books that I am going to think about getting the audiobook. I am behind stoked. Merry Christmas to us from Open Road Media.

While Amazon has never officially welcomed in the new month (unless you count the days of Christmas sales ) with a new W4V freebie apparently it is out there if you know where to look. Even better, since it is Christmas you get to pick your freebie! At least you do as long as you pick "The Call of the Wild" by Jack London. First, get the free Kindle edition here, then you can pick up your free Audible edition from amongst the following:

• Blackstone Audio, narrated by John Lee
• Trout Lake Media, narrated by Mike Boris
• Dreamscape Media, narrated by Matthew Steward
• Mission Audio, narrated by William Dufris
• Jimcin Recordings, narrated by Jim Roberts
• One Voice Recordings, narrated by David Ian Davies
• Tantor Audio, narrated by Patrick Lawlor
• Naxos Audiobooks, narrated by Bill Roberts
• Books in Motion, narrated by Gene Engene
• Self-published by Michael A. Smith
• The Classic Collection (AKA Brilliance Audio), narrated by Roger Dressier (BTW, this one might contain extras as it is over 5 hours in length. Either that or he reads reeeeeal slooow.)
• Listen2aBook.com, narrated by John Michaels
• Audio Book Contractors, narrated by Flo Gibson
• Alpha DVD, narrated by Pat Bottino
• Recorded Books, narrated by Frank Muller

As usual, this should last a month but Amazon's calendars almost never work right. If you want one (or all) don't delay.

Enjoy!
