Amazon have some big discounts on certain books so you can always find some examples where they are cheaper by a long way, but it is Amazon who chooses which books to dicsount, whereas with Kobo's promo codes I choose (except for two publishers who don't allow discounts.) I'd rather have a 20% discount on a book I want to read than an 80% discount on one I don't.

I looked at a sample of ebooks I was proposing to buy when I first came across the discount coupons thread some time ago. At that time I was quite shocked by the difference in prices. So your experience has not been my experience so far, but I have certainly not made a detailed study of the matter or looked at it again recently. Based on your comments I will have a closer look in the future. Thanks. In the meantime, does anyone else care to comment?
