What I would like to see are pre release or pre orders like Amazon does.
For weeks my husband has been waiting for the new Jack Reacher book. He knew it was coming because Amazon sent him an email telling him all about it and inviting him to preorder. As the price was $9.99 he did exactly that.
However I was quick enough to see that on the release day Kobo was selling it for $10 - by using one of the many 20%off codes I managed to cancel the Amazon order (probably only with minutes to spare!) and get the book from Kobo $1.99 cheaper than Amazon. Plus I saved myself all the DRM and conversion issues.
It would be much easier if Kobo would advertise their pre release books as well.
