If you've taken advantage of the myriad [Black Friday deals](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/21/engadgets-black-friday-2012-roundup/) on mobile devices and PCs, you're probably looking for content to feed the technology beast. Google and app creators are pulling out all the stops to make sure that beast stays full: [Google Play](http://www.engadget.com/tag/GooglePlay/) has discounts throughout the Thanksgiving weekend for just about every format on offer. Android apps are the highlight, with [SwiftKey 3](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/15/swiftkey-3-0-1-brings-new-themes-languages-and-bug-fixes/), [_Shadowgun_](http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/09/madfinger-demos-and-dishes-details-on-its-forthcoming-shadowgun/) and [Documents To Go](http://www.engadget.com/tag/DocumentsToGo/) on the list of those with grander price cuts, although there's some definite bargains to be had in media. Among the picks are price drops on books like _The Hobbit_, movies like _The Big Lebowski_ and _Serenity,_ and music from the likes of Diana Krall and Kendrick Lamar. We can't possibly mention every offer here, so check our links for some of the larger deals.
