I read "French Silk" a looooot of time ago (one of the first contemporary romance novel I read, in SPanish of course).

Lots of Harlequin buys for me this week, used a couple of big codes on bundles... my new local eLibrary has a pitiful eBook selection - I was so reliant on my old eLibrary for keeping me in Harlequins!

Read only two:
Holiday Sparks by Stacy Shannon... 2
Sweet Inspiration by Penny Watson... 3 (4 if it had been better edited)

I know right? I think something's wrong with me, how the heck is my wishlist still hovering around 100? And even though I just bought 20ish last week, there's still around 10-20 that I'm really hoping drop in price tomorrow because it's killing me waiting to buy them.

Quantities are limited. Not to be used with other offers or coupons. All orders subject to approval. One time use only.


Since it is one-day only, it doesn't count toward this week's releases since the 2 new Christmas anthologies don't come out until Thursday.
Also not sure how the quantities are limited, but maybe they will cut off the code after a certain number of uses

Amazon's Cyber Monday Romance Deals

(Am thinking Heather Graham must be hiding in there as I got 8 alerts from ERIQ for her in my email this morning.)

A lot of these titles are the same as the ones on Kobo's Up to 80% Off Cyber Monday Sale list. I clicked the Amazon link and was thinking "Wait, I've already looked at these" So maybe they're publisher discounts for the day? (Haven't compared the lists 100% book-for-book, but the Amada Scott, Heather Graham, and Sandra Kitt titles are on both.)

Just something to keep in mind if the ones you want are coupon code eligible at Kobo. 50Dec is a new 50% multi-use code.

A lot of the Amazon ones are Open Road Media books, which I believe are couponable at Kobo.

Samhain is offering a 30% off coupon at their bookstore today only:

CYBERMONDAY13

I haven't tried to use it yet, but they typically stack their discounts, so for all of their new releases, you should be able to take an additional 30% of on top of the standard 30% discount that they offer on all new releases.

Also, they offer the standard 30% new release discount for up to 4 weeks prior to a book's release date, so it's worth browsing their "coming soon" section for anything that is being released in the next couple of weeks.

Also, I think Samhain's books are eligible for today's ARE rebate, so for any older releases, you might want to buy them at ARE instead. I like Samhain's store better because you can download any book you purchase in multiple formats, whereas ARE only allows you one download, but for the back catalog, I think ARE will have the better deal today.

Just FYI, you can download multiple formats at ARe, too. You just have to open a ticket. It's pretty much automated now for non-DRM'd titles. Somewhat confusing to get to the link to do so, but it's not hard once you know how.

And there is a Barnes & Noble Cyber Monday Sale, too.

Many of the same books as Kobo and Amazon.

Hmm, I'll have to give that a try. Especially because I currently have about 10 books in my shopping cart there and are about to press the button.

Okay, the magic coupon and prior mega-sales have messed me up. I just pre-ordered two books and balked at paying "only 60% off"

Once your books are all downloaded:

1. Go to the "My Library" tab
2. Click on the "Click for Help" icon in the upper right corner of the center pane
3. Select "Changing Download Format" from the list of options
4. Click the first option (>Adobe Acrobat, Epub,...)
5. Click on the "Submit a Regular Reset Ticket" link in the instructions
6. Click on "choose" next to the Book Title field and a list of all your eligible titles will appear
7. Select the title you wish to have in an alternative format
8. The book will be placed back at the top of your library
9. Download in the new format needed

You have to repeat this process for every book but as I said it's relatively easy once you know the steps.
