eBook Week March 7-13 - Page 2

tench · 03-07-2010, 12:27 AM

I just tried the Kobo code and it only gave me 10% off my ebook!

Anyone have success with it?

SimonSays · 03-07-2010, 01:27 AM

yeah, some of the free books listed aren't free yet either :/ I guess they didn't specify what time on Mar 7 all of this starts

Same problem here. I'm really hoping we're just early and this isn't some sort of bait-and-switch.

The code is no good. it's either invalid or expired.

Having been involved with REBW from the start, we were disappointed when this year's event coincided with taking our www.bewrite.net website down for major reconstruction. Thanks to Smashwords, though, we were able to get around it. See my sig line below. Have a good week folks. Very best. Neil

"Read2010" certainly works, it just gives 10% off instead of 100%

Well, I see that the Read an EBook Week festivities are going on over at Smashwords, but although I enrolled Boomerang in the program some time ago I sure haven't been able to find it in the listings.

So I hope it is okay if I pass on a code you can use to get the 50% off anyway.

Boomerang on Smashwords

banjobama from here at MR had some nice things to say about Boomerang on her new ebook review blog.

Thanks,

***neilmarr- site is not working for me***

Both links are correct, Simon, and they do work ... eventually. I suspect the problem is with heavier than usual traffic at Smashwords today, being the first week of REBW. I'm by no means the only one reporting problems. Apologies. Neil

Harryplopper · 03-07-2010, 01:13 PM

"Read2010" was going to only give me 10% as well.

emonti8384 · 03-07-2010, 02:05 PM

Now it says the Kobo code is only for $1 off.

SimonSays · 03-07-2010, 02:11 PM

Still waiting for a few books to show up with the offers available that are listed http://www.ebookweek.com/partners.html

emonti8384 · 03-07-2010, 02:23 PM

Whew, I thought I was just not looking hard enough!

tench · 03-07-2010, 04:44 PM

That's so sad about Kobo's coupon. :-(

Anyone manage to find a link to the free download from Books on Board?
