I have a Kindle and an iPad - can I buy ebooks from Kobo and read on my Kindle? How do you get the Kobo coupons?

What's the deal with Swagbucks?

Thanks very much

Hi and welcome.

To answer a few of your questions, yes you can buy books from Kobo and read them on your Kindle BUT you need to convert them from epub to one of Kindle compatible formats first. To do that you'll need a conversion tool, so if you're not already using Calibre as a library mangement tool you need to get it, it's free and nothing beats it! Additionally if the Kobo purchases are DRM'd you'll need to liberate them before they can be converted.

With regards to finding kobo codes you'll want to watch this thread. All the general use coupons end up getting posted here. There's another unlimited use 50% off code running until Oct 15 which is pretty much unheard of. The code is BookRiot50. If you're going to give Kobo a try now is the time to do it.

I'll let someone else answer the Swagbucks question (Blossom?).
