50% off at Fictionwise - expires soon

koland · 09-27-2010, 01:28 PM

Technically, this has already expired, but I just used it to get the entire Hitchhiker's Series for $8.50:

Enjoy a 50% OFF coupon for your eBooks purchases this weekend (maximum discount of $50 and Samhain Titles Excluded).

Hurry, this offer good for the weekend only!

Coupon Code: F50B2Z7290

Don't know if it works more than once, but will check that out soon, I'm sure.

Terisa de morgan · 09-27-2010, 02:10 PM

Thank you very much, it still works

ngrant · 09-27-2010, 02:22 PM

Thanks indeed! Just used it to buy two Aaron Elkins books (early Gideon Oliver) that I had not read previously. Fictionwise has not had anything new of interest to me for quite some time so I was glad to give them some business today.

As another thread noted, I have not been getting any e-mails from FW; very pleased that the OP chose to share this coupon with us.

koland · 09-27-2010, 02:45 PM

You're all welcome. The coupon does work twice, as I added a couple of tiny items and tested it out.

What expires? Fictionwise? Or the coupon?

Oh wait. That's not funny!

I do suggest that everyone back up their purchases even more, as the publishing shake-ups continue.

ficbot · 09-27-2010, 05:45 PM

Darn, the Douglas Adams is geo-restricted and Kobo doesn't even have it at full price. I guess the publishers don't want any Canadians to buy it.

JeremyR · 09-27-2010, 05:52 PM

Thanks! Still worked when I tried it. I've been wanting to get some of the books in the Ethshar series by Lawrence Watt-Evans in e-form. I have them all in real books, so I hated to pay full price again but.

My goodness though, downloading from them isn't except the most intuitive thing in the world.

daffy4u · 09-27-2010, 06:46 PM

Thanks, used it! Downloaded the same collection as well (now I can take HHGTG off the library wait list)

bjones6416 · 09-27-2010, 07:13 PM

I got it too, for 50% off. Thank you!

mish · 09-27-2010, 08:15 PM

Thank you very much for sharing!

I'm just wondering why some people get these codes and some (most) do not? Is there some criteria that puts one person on the code-worthy list? Since I'm apparently not in that list I certainly appreciate whenever someone shares these codes with the forum members.

SensualPoet · 09-27-2010, 08:56 PM

Whoa! ... lot's of bargains here: Robert B Parker (Spencer), Carolyn G Hart (Death on Demand), Rex Stout (Nero Wolfe), Margaret Truman, Rita Mae Brown, Richard Stevenson (Donald Strachey), Laurie King (Mary Russell/Sherlock Holmes), etc ... all half price.

Thanks!!!

Update:
Harummphhh! A number of my choices, although also sold by Kobo in Canada, were "geographically restricted". But, I still got some nice bargains.

aagstn · 09-27-2010, 10:27 PM

Awesome. Caught up the two most recently released overpriced Rex Stouts and the complete Hitchhiker's Guide. Thanks for posting. My buywise has a month left so I got to use that as well. Excellent deal on the complete Hitchhiker's.

Kiya · 09-28-2010, 08:07 AM

Well just to let you know. It still works, even if it say expires September 26 when you apply it to your purchase

I just bought some books right now, and it worked. I got 50% discount.

Thanks!!

Hatgirl · 09-28-2010, 10:59 AM

Thanks! I got 4 of "The Year's Best Science Fiction/Fantasy" edited by Rich Horton and the "Seeds of Change" anthology edited by John Joseph Adams. All in glorious DRM-free MultiFormat!
