The 10 variant works from Germany - where there also isn't Agency Pricing. But you need a German IP to get it, or at least European I assume. This week with the codes that keep coming I've picked up Nora Roberts - The Witness €4.13 EUR ($5.57 paying with Paypal) Rita Mae Brown - The Big Cat Nap: The 20th Anniversary… eBook 1,42 € ($1.93) Christopher Moore - Sacre Bleu: A Comedy d'Art 1,18 € ($1.60) Mary Kay Anderson - Savannah Blues with Bonus Material 1,42 € ($1.93) Laura Griffin - Twisted 0,55 € ($.75) Jodi Thomas - Just Down the Road 1,37 € ($1.86) I never tried the 5 variant. There are actually a couple of new releases next Tuesday that I'm interested in that will be in the 6 to 8 range but I'm guessing the codes might be shut down by then. I'm starting to feel a little gluttonous. |

I've made a pretty good haul today and I still have 1-$5 and 2-50% left!
Hoping the codes will still be working by the time the 4-24 releases are available on Kobo. Spoiler:

I can't believe Kobo hasn't already shut them down. For the price of one Agency ebook I got 9 great non-Agency ebooks. Since I've been trying to avoid buying Agency books this makes me happy and I will share my joy with Kobo by purchasing from them in the future. Win-win.

Same here...I bought the Kate Douglas bundle and they are backwards. I think they can split up in Sigil, but not sure.

These are the steps I use: 1. Import your bundle file into Calibre 2. Edit meta data. Change title from the bundle name to that of one of the individual books. Change the cover to that of the individual book by using the download cover option in Calibre or downloading a cover onto your computer then using the Browse option under the change cover section to select your downloaded file. 3. Tweak epub. Right click on the file in Calibre to open the popup and select Tweak epub. Click the "Explode ePub" button in the new popup this will open a file explorer window. Open the OEPBS folder, here you will see all the indvidual files included in the bundle. If you're lucky you can determine which book they belong to by the file name. If you're not lucky the file names may be a series of somewhat random numbers and letters, however all the files belonging to a single book will likely begin with the same series of numbers and letters. In this case to determine which book is which, click on one of the HTML files. It should open a browser window where you should be able to see the title of the book on the browser's tab. Once you've established what's what, delete all the html files that do not belong to the book you named earlier. When done close the window and click Rebuild epub in the popup that should still be open. 4. Edit TOC. I've been using Sigil to edit my Table of Contents file however you can also use any text editor and edit the file before the Rebuild ePub step. Open file in Sigil, select the toc.ncx file, delete any entries that do not belong to your book. Save file, close Sigil. Regardless of which method you use, you will need at least a rudimentary knowledge of HTML to edit the TOC. 5. Back in Calibre reconvert it to epub. That's one book done, repeat the process for each book in the bundle starting with importing the bundle file again. If you screw up, don't panic, just the delete the file from Calibre the reimport the bundle file. You can also do all of the above in Sigil, I prefer the tweak epub method because I can delete multiple files at once. In Sigil you have to delete them one . . at . . a . . time (unless I'm just missing a method of selecting multiple files at once). Last edited by apesmom; 04-20-2012 at 11:37 PM. |

Is there any way to easily tell what books I can use the coupons on? Seems every one that I want is publisher restricted :\

I am loving these coupons. Recently Kobo started charging me tax on all purchases. This sort of makes it up to me and makes me want to shop there again. $10 off A Vision of Lucy by Margaret Brownley ($0.10) I still got the $5 off and two 50% off to spend. I'm sure I can find some HQs to use with those.

I recommend Robert McCammon's books Swan Song, Boy's Life, or the short story collection Blue World Great for Horror/Fantasy fans. The code works for any of these.
