Kobo Canada & US have a new Summer Reading Event weekend sale offer available: 299 Beach Reads for $2.99, mostly consisting of books from the major publishers, ending on August 8th. There are separate promo pages for each country, with some overlap between offerings, and a few titles are actually at the 99 cent and $1.99 mark. Some of them are eligible for the extra 10% off VIP discount, and probably a lot will be matched elsewhere.

Canada dedicated promo page & categories: Fabulous Fiction, Can't-Put-Down Mysteries & Thrillers, Heartwarming Romance, Enlightening Nonfiction, Fascinating Biographies, Memoirs, & History Books, Outta-This-World Science Fiction & Fantasy, Best Picks for Kids & Young Adults

US dedicated promo page & categories: Fiction, Romance, Mystery, Thriller, Science Fiction, Young Adult, Biography & Memoir, History, Nonfiction, Kids, Health

There's actually some pretty nice stuff in there, including a Cherie Priest (ISFDB, Wikipedia) novel in the brief sf/fantasy section, and some interesting-looking non-fiction/history things, and some award-nominated mysteries. If you're a true crime buff, there seem to be a bunch of those in the History and Biography sections. And there's also some award-nominated Canadian literary fiction, if you're into that, including the 20th anniversary edition of a book I'd been considering at $4.49 during the Canada Day sale, but passed on, and will probably pick up now.

ETA: their pricing is a little wonky, with some books apparently not having yet been adjusted before being incorporated into the sale, but the stragglers will probably drop in a day or two.
