You express my thoughts on moving purchasing away from Amazon. But I decided to give it a go, as I was also told that Kobo will do price matching to Amazon prices, + an extra 10%.
So I decided to take advantage of a recent Kobo offer of £70 in giftcards for £60. (Buy a £60 giftcard and get an additional £10 gift card.) So The extra gift card arrived in email this morning, so I have £70 in store credit that cost me £60.
I had some hassle buying the giftcard, so contacted cusromer service, who sent me a one-off 90% discount code, which I used to buy VIP membership. So £60 got me £69.40 in credit.
And today I need to buy a book club book. At Amazon it's £5.99. At Kobo it's £5.39 (10% off for VIP members), and as I haven't used Kobo for ages, the
save30 discount code works, so I get another 30% off, taking it to £3.65. Taking into account to £69.40 in credit for £60, that's another 13.5%, taking actual cost to £3.16, a 47% discount.
It's possible that I'll end up being pleased Amazon have stopped D&T, and made me look at Kobo again.
I'll have to try out their price matching on the next book.
