Sad as I am about Kobo, at least it is only the contest coupons. The general coupons still work in other countries.
I guess I will be checking the prices at Google, B&N, and ARe more often. And unless it's a read-on-day-of-release book, I may wait a few weeks to buy since so many books seem to go on sale quickly. I know I've been burned by that before but I always told myself "oh well at least I got it with a coupon"
Problem is so many of my autobuy authors write for the Big 5.
