Harper Collins partners with Kobo Australia
Nate's written an article re Harper Collins partnering with Kobo, and launching a book bundle in Aus.

Quote:
Clearly a believer in the idea that one can never have too many pilots, HarperCollins has launched a new print/digital pilot program today in Australia. Developed in partnership with Boomerang Books and Kobo, the new program will let readers buy one of five books from Boomerang and get a coupon code for a free ebook from Kobo. Said program is being tested with 5 titles, including two novels and 3 biographies:
  • Cleanskin Cowgirls by Rachael Treasure
  • Ghost House by Alexandra Adornetti
  • Kerry Stokes: The Boy from Nowhere by Andrew Rule
  • Last Woman Hanged by Caroline Overington
  • The Menzies Era by John Howard

I don't understand how it would benefit me, can anyone work out how a 'bundle' would benefit them?

And the price of these ebooks is darn outrageous to boot!!!

Edit
I can't work out where to find '2. Enter the unique promo code inside the book and your ebook will start downloading'. No, I'm not intending to buy but I am looking at the process.

The price of EBooks in Australia is generally outrageous, as we have "Agency Pricing" at its worst. Our authorities, in their wisdom, have refused to investigate.

Who said anything about benefiting you?

They are just looking to see if they can charge more for a book you want by bundling it with books you might not want.

If it is any book, not just from a list of books, then it is worthwhile considering.
