Eligible digital download purchases include Kindle eBooks, Amazon MP3s, Amazon Instant Videos, software downloads, game downloads and purchases made at Audible.com. Digital download purchases at Amazon.com must be made using your Amazon.com Rewards Visa Card as your 1-Click payment method to qualify for this offer.Speaking of Audible, they are running a couple of deals there, also. Listening Rewards isn't a sale, but a bonus for buying four audible audiobooks between November 1 and November 24, 2011. You'll earn a $10 Listening Reward coupon, deposited to your Audible account by the end of the month (and which expires Dec 26). Since I had four credits remaining on my 6 for $6 Audible subscription, I went ahead and used them (which I needed to do before I could consider canceling, anyway), so should get the credit (presumably even if I cancel the monthly subscription, since this isn't tied to one). Audible is also running their semi-annual sale, with many audiobooks at 50% off (for those paying for each book, rather than using credits). If you have a monthly subscription, that isn't a huge savings (as it isn't half off member price, but list), but it is quite a bit for those who just buy one book now and then. They are also now highlighting new audiobooks the First Friday each month, so you might want to view November's selection.

MetaGame ($0.99), by Sam Landstrom, is today's Kindle Deal of the Day. I've mentioned this book a time or two before and, although I don't have this newer AmazonEncore edition, I do have two earlier editions and recommend it for any SciFi fans.Book Description
Speculative science fiction at its finest, MetaGame by Sam Landstrom is a ‘future gamers’ field guide and a philosophical cyberpunk adventure. In this original and disturbingly irreverent prospective world, gaming is more than a diversion—and gamers are, literally, in it for life. The OverSoul, an enigmatic, unifying force, offers winners points that add up to currency. Reigning champs are given the gift of immortality—while losers are condemned to aging and death. D_Light is one of the best players in his Family and will do anything to win, even if it means committing murder. When he’s invited to a MetaGame—an exclusive, high-stakes competition—he jumps at the chance. But after the first quest, D_Light’s overly ambitious ways brand him a renegade. With a warped sense of freewill that is needed to prevail, D_Light must either kill someone he’s grown to love—or lose everything.
Sapper Martin ($1.59 / £0.99 UK), by Richard van Emden, is the Kindle Deal of the day for those in the UK (the US Edition is $8.32).Book Description
Albert John ('Jack') Martin was a thirty-two-year-old clerk at the Admiralty when he was called up to serve in the army in September 1916. These diaries, written in secret, hidden from his colleagues and only discovered by his family after his return home, present the Great War with heartbreaking clarity, written in a voice as compelling and distinctive as Wilfred Owen or Siegfried Sassoon and all the more extraordinary given that it is not an officer's but that of a private. From his arrival in France and his participation in the Somme, through offensives at Ypres and eventual demobilisation after the Armistice, we see wartime life as it really was for the ordinary Tommy.
In these journals, introduced and edited by bestselling First World War historian Richard van Emden, we witness the cheerful Albert Martin getting to grips with life in the trenches and, together with his comrades in the Royal Engineers, confronting the ever-present threat of injury and death. We also see the mundane reality of life at the front line - the arguments with superiors, the joy brought by the arrival of packages from loved ones at home and the appalling conditions in which that attritional war was fought.
