Unfortunately, Kobo does not offer any discounts at all for their ebooks.
I guess I need to start looking for a different online book store. I found Books-A-Million ( http://www.booksamillion.com/) that offers as little as 10% discount for a ebook from a major publisher which I will be happy to buy but Books-A-Million only sell ebooks to US customers and not Canadians or international customers. |
You might try google play. They do some discounting, although I've only just started browsing there so I don't know the extent of discounts on the big 6.
Kobo isn't allowed to discount the books as I understand it (they are under something similar to the agency thing that went on in US). When those coupons worked, they most likely were not supposed to work so Kobo was probably losing a lot of money on them!
