25% off on select books @ Kobo Books

eric11210 · 10-29-2010, 11:06 AM

According to the e-mail I got, the only books that can be purchased with this code are here. It is possible it may work on other titles beside these but I don't know. Anyway, the code is 25%off and it expires October 31. I used it to get The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding Of Facebook: A Tale Of Sex, Money, Genius And Betrayal for $6.97 instead of $9.29 (which was already discounted from the $15.95 list).

Thanks! I used it for a book that I don't think is on that list: Sizzling Sixteen (Janet Evanovich) at $7.94. To my recollection, that's about half the price when it was first offered, maybe 2 months ago.

(time passes)

D'oh! I just went to check my email for confirmation of my purchase, and I got a different code - 30%deal - for 30% off.

Thanks for the coupons! FWI The 25%off code does work for books not on that list but can only be used once. The 30%off code did not work for me on anything.

Thanks for sharing. US Buyer here and I can get the codes to work on Non-Agency priced books. I tested the 30% code for Grisham's the Confession and hit apply and it appeared like it would work.

I didn't actually buy though.

30%deal worked for me on Aurorarama which got the price close enough to under $10 for me.

The 30% code is 30%deal not 30%off - is that what you tried?

Both codes worked for me!! But Kobo seems to have a bit of a bug where the price is discounted but on the confirmation page you get a message saying that you have been charged the full price. A quick check with my credit card company and I have confirmed that I was charged the discounted price.

The 30%deal would only work once so my second book I had to settle for 25%off - still a total bargain.

Thanks!

Thank you very much, I've used both of them (the 25%off with a book outside the list) and both have worked (30%deal only once, the other I don't know)

excellent! I just love when kobo does coupon codes. I got the girl who played with fire for 5.59. Beat that, amazon!

That's exactly what I did!

Thanks for noticing that. It works for me now.

Thanks! I bought my first e-book: Just an Ordinary Day, a collection of Shirley Jackson's short stories.

SensualPoet · 10-29-2010, 10:13 PM

I used both codes ... seems to work once only ... and picked up Alexander MacLeod's Light Lifting, one of the shortlist Giller Prize nominees. I also sampled the first of Charles Finch's Victorian London mystery series. Yummm! Thanks, eric11210 and dmacmart!

30%deal worked for me--I got the new Jonathan Franzen book.

eric11210 · 10-30-2010, 09:32 AM

FYI, each code works only once per account, so you can get 30% off on one item and 25% off on a second one, but that's it. A third item is full price.

texasnightowl · 10-31-2010, 12:42 AM

Guess these have expired? I cannot get either one to work for me..

taming · 10-31-2010, 01:26 AM

@texaasnightown--not all books are included. In the US, the Agency books are not. Canadians got this in their announcement (the list of publishers is probably different.
