The final "Summer Reading Event" weekend promotion has shown up for Kobo Canada, and it's for a selection of hundreds of titles discounted to $4.99 or less through September 5th, and the front page banner also says something about 10x bonus points on bestselling titles, though I'm not seeing what those are yet.
Currently the prices are in transition, so not everything is marked down yet, but there are selections starting from just 99 cents, significant markdowns on the ones which have made it to $4.99 or less (especially for some of the independent Canadian small press literary fiction, which normally go for upwards of $10 CAD), and many are eligible for the extra VIP 10% bonus discount as well. The selection is mainly from established independent small presses, but there are some major publisher imprints in here, and a few indies as well.
There's some good stuff in it, with cozy mystery titles by Charlaine Harris (better known for her Sookie Stackhouse series of vampire mysteries which were the basis for HBO's True Blood TV adaptation), Hugo Award nominee Aliette de Bodard (some of her fantasy Aztec books filed under mystery rather than fantasy), popular historical novelist Bernard Cornwell (of Sharpe series fame), an Alan Turing graphic novel biography by G. T. Lab's Jim Ottaviani (highly recommended, I have most of the other G. T. Labs science history books and they are well-research and excellent), some interesting-looking historical and science/nature stuff in the non-fiction sections, and more.
