If you need a new MP3 player, you might want to take a look at Amazon's featured Black Friday deal on the SanDisk Sansa Clip+ 4 GB ($29.95; multiple colors). This is the MP3 player that I use and it works very well, both with Audible and for putting MP3's on it for listening to music, as well as listening to FM radio (it has a digital tuner) or using as a voice recorder. You'll get a $2 MP3 credit with it, which isn't much, but will buy you a couple of songs to get started with. There is a newer model (which ads color for cover images), but at this price, I'm considering get a second one for backup and/or listening to audiobooks just in the car.
I also noticed when playing with an order, that as a Prime Member, Amazon would like to entice me to take the slower 5-7 day shipping on orders over $25 (or to is seems, I didn't get the offer on a $10 order). If I pick the slower shipping, they will throw in an additional $1 in free MP3's (so, $3 total on this particular item).

Leaving Paradise ($0.99), the young adult title by Simone Elkeles, is today's Kindle Deal of the Day.
Book Description
Nothing has been the same since Caleb Becker left a party drunk, got behind the wheel, and hit Maggie Armstrong. Even after months of painful physical therapy, Maggie walks with a limp. Her social life is nil and a scholarship to study abroad—her chance to escape everyone and their pitying stares—has been canceled.
After a year in juvenile jail, Caleb’s free . . . if freedom means endless nagging from a transition coach and the prying eyes of the entire town. Coming home should feel good, but his family and ex-girlfriend seem like strangers.
Caleb and Maggie are outsiders, pigeon-holed as "criminal" and "freak." Then the truth emerges about what really happened the night of the accident and, once again, everything changes. It’s a bleak and tortuous journey for Caleb and Maggie, yet they end up finding comfort and strength from a surprising source: each other.
The Age of Instability ($1.56 / £0.99 UK), by David Smith, is the Kindle Deal of the day for those in the UK (the US Edition is $9.58).
Book Description
Bored with endless grandstanding and people being wise after the event? Then, The Age of Instability is the one book you should read on the financial crisis. Setting the near collapse of the international financial markets and banking system in a global and historical context, Sunday Times Economics editor and bestselling author, David Smith, looks not only at the political and economic factors that contributed to the fall of Lehmans, collapse of Iceland and disintegration of the subprime mortgage market but also at the emergence of a culture of risk and greed that made it possible to believe that greed was good and the good times would last forever. The Age of Instability provides an authoritative yet accessible guide to what happened, where, and when with practical suggestions for what needs to happen next.
This Boy's Life ($2.25 Kindle, B&N),a memoir by Tobias Wolff, is the Nook Daily Find, price matched on Kindle.
Book Description
This unforgettable memoir, by one of our most gifted writers, introduces us to the young Toby Wolff, by turns tough and vulnerable, crafty and bumbling, and ultimately winning. Separated by divorce from his father and brother, Toby and his mother are constantly on the move, yet they develop an extraordinarily close, almost telepathic relationship. As Toby fights for identity and self-respect against the unrelenting hostility of a new stepfather, his experiences are at once poignant and comical, and Wolff does a masterful job of re-creating the frustrations and cruelties of adolescence. His various schemes - running away to Alaska, forging checks, and stealing cars - lead eventually to an act of outrageous self-invention that releases him into a new world of possibility.
