So, after lkmiller encouraged me that sale books still earn the 10% discount, I decided on a whim to try it out. My big critique is that it's hard to browse the store to see which titles are eligible for the VIP 10% discount unless you are already a VIP subscriber. Having said that, my Kobo wishlist is some 200+ items strong at this point and a very good many of of them are eligible. I don't know about the majority or not, but enough to make me optimistic about the prospect of paying for the membership. (…I should probably start a new Calibre column to track price paid for a given book, and whether it was discounted for being a VIP member, so that I can easily run a report on my savings for a given timespan.)
