NOTE 2: You do have to make sure that you are buying a non-agency book. E-books that are non-agency generally include: - e-books with two prices listed (ie. "List Price" and "Our Price") - e-books that end in something other than ".99" (ie. $9.91, $5.57, etc.) - most graphic novels - most "Just for Kobo Vox" books - most very inexpensive e-books (ie. $0.95 to $2.99) - e-books by very small/niche publishers. A list of non-agency publishers is provided in this post |

With Macmillan settling with the US DOJ, voucher codes should start working with more ebooks in a few days.

Ahh thank you both. The 'whys' are much clearer now :-)
It seems I do manage to always buy the wrong books! I failed with 2 more this evening! |

Just because the other publishers settled, it didn't make codes start working with their books, so I doubt they'll start working with Macmillan titles either.

Yes, and even there it's a separate deal. Their codes and reward dollars don't work with former Agency stuff.

That's what I'm thinking. It seems none of the settling publishers have become promo code eligible at Kobo or BoB.

True but the 30% off this week on Hachette and S&S books has been nice. I picked up a few titles that would of been alot more with it. I can only hope Kobo starts discounting but seeing they are in Canada and the Lawsuit in here in the U.S. I don't see it happening.

I have had no problems using discount codes for Macmillan books in New Zealand. Is is only in the US that they don't work?

OK that is interesting. I tried to buy "Gardens of the Moon" by Steven Erikson, published by Tom Doherty Associates. With a NZ address the price is $NZ 7.99 (about $US 6.75) and I get a box to enter a promo code. With a US address the price is $US 7.99 and there is nowhere to enter a promo code.

Oh! Sorry for raising people's hopes. I hadn't realised.

I keep waiting for the prices to go down for the settling publishers' books on Sony, B&N, Kobo, or BooksOnBoard, but it still hasn't happened. I have a few books I'd like to buy, but I guess I'm boycotting them until I see some price changes/coupons/etc.
