Did anyone else get the MIDNIGHT KOBO SALE coupon last night? For $10 off? I was right narked off -- I was getting ready for bed, saw the coupon title, got all excited, scrolled down, saw the amount, and wanted to fling the phone across the room.

$10 is seriously undervaluing my beauty sleep.

In more relevant rantiness, I hate getting B&N adverts all the time encouraging me to buy a Nook Color when I own a Nook Color and they know that full well, thank you very much. I also hate the B&N coupons that are, of course, not valid on the one thing I buy from them: eBooks. I really want to customize my mailing options from them so that they only send newsletters relevant to my needs (I care about Nook updates and innovations, and eBook coupons if they ever do those, and PubIt news. And that's it.), but you can't.

Amazon sends me wonderful recommendation emails, but half the time lately, they include things I bought from Amazon and reviewed on Amazon. Better filtering would seem in order there, Ammy me old mate.

So. Complain about coupons and newsletters that you can opt out of and don't have to look at and why-is-everyone-complaining-about-free-stuff here.
