How nerdly am I? I created a spreadsheet and a data entry form using google docs. I price check (using Calibre) which captures the prices from the four or so stores I buy from and watch as prices change. I can also then keep track of when Kobo has had discount codes, how much I spent, when I spent it, etc.

Mega Nerd! But then... I'm not surprised.

You can add the book on their site to your library without buying it. That sort of works like a wishlist.

The first time I saw their "Save for later" button it registered in my mind that it was more than 'sort of' and was exactly what it is---a 'wish list'. Of course they could have called it 'Wish List' and people still would ask "where's the 'Wish List'?"

Don't forget the "ww" versions of discount codes!

Canuck_in_Japan · 12-07-2011, 07:54 AM

I just used the save3590us 5 times with all of the different regional endings to save a boatload of cash! I love Kobobooks! In almost every case the books were cheaper than Amazon to start off with and then way cheaper with the discount codes applied.
My haul:

Obama's Wars
Hyperion
1491
The Templars
Marie Antoinette

And I used a 30% code to get In the Graveyard of Empires

The problem I have is that they get lost amongst all the others that I have bought. I haven't seen a way to only list those that I haven't bought yet. Am I missing something?

This just popped up in my email:

dec9offer30ca for 30% off until December 11th

Enjoy!

Also, if you happen to like coupon-discountable low-cost backlist mystery fiction by reasonably well-known and established writers, I suggest having a look at the titles in this thread about $2.99 1st/2nd in series from Severn House which has authors like Simon Brett and Paul Doherty.

"us", "au", "uk", "row" also work.

KjellM · 12-08-2011, 10:22 PM

This works with "row" and the others (au, us, uk).

Canuck_in_Japan · 12-10-2011, 02:03 AM

Bump for savings! I'm not sure why this isn't a sticky but "Creating a SD Card using a Bootable Ubuntu Linux USB drive" is.

I might have to pass this one up-35% off is an amazing deal but I just bought 5 books a few days ago with the previous 35% off coupon. Why can't they space them out a little more evenly?
