I created a bookmarklet to help me make sale posts faster.
When activated on a Kobo page, it pops up a textbox with formatted text that I can paste into these forums.
This is based on my opinion on how to create an informative post. It has the book title in bold, the author name, a rounded price (no ".99" cents), the description, and series information, if available. It detects the US and UK stores. I also kept a placeholder for Amazon links.
Feel free to tweak it as you wish, or I can customize it for you.
To create this bookmarklet, copy this text and paste it as the URL of a new bookmark. Place it in a bookmark toolbar, and click it when you're on a Kobo page for an unpurchased book (otherwise, the price isn't visible.) You can open a private tab if you want to see the price.
