I'm guessing there will be something to prevent this, but it doesn't hurt to ask!

You only get a rebate when you pay with credit card so you wouldn't get a rebate on the second purchase.

Almost. You only get the 100% rebate when paying with paypal or credit card.

So:

Buy Fellowship & Towers using TAXDAY code for 15% off, and you'll pay $25.48 which will instantly appear in your micropay account.

Then buy Return and Hobbit using TAXDAY and your micropay. You should even have some micropay left over.

I had 0.34$ of micropay bonus yesterday (for a 0.99$ book) when I paid with my micropay :S (maybe a bug)

pdurrant · 04-21-2009, 12:55 PM

Generally speaking, rebates of 35% and less apply to all payment methods, including micropay while rebates of more than 35% are Paypal/Credit card only.

I was told by Fictionwise that it was 30% or more for Paypal/CC and under 30% can be used with Micropay.

pdurrant · 04-21-2009, 02:57 PM

Could be. I was working from memory and the example given.

Tempted to pick these up as I just have paperback editions. But I think I'd rather just pick up nice hardcover illustrated version when I get the itch to read again since these are some of the few books I've re-read and I'd like to have a nice physical copy of them.

If you want an omnibus edition of LotR, this anniversary ed. with illustrations by Alan Lee is lovely (pricey, but lovely). If you are a fan of the Peter Jackson films, you will get to see some of the inspiration for the film version of Middle-earth in the artwork.

I have 4 versions of LotR in paper now (50th anniversary, 3 book softcover, omnibus softcover, leatherbound) and I was *still* happy to pay for a legal ebook version!

Ea · 04-21-2009, 03:19 PM

I have been looking at this one - Folio Society ed. - though I'd like to see a few more examples of the artwork before paying that much money

whitearrow · 04-21-2009, 03:23 PM

I'm a big Alan Lee fan, so for me it was a no-brainer. The art in the AL edition is also color, which makes a great deal of difference to me.

(Plus I prefer the omnibus.)

It seems that I can't open The Children of Húrin ePub, bought from Books on Board. ADE throws error box and then refuses to open it :-(
I believe that's because the archive is corrupted.
Anybody encountered similar problem?

Irene

They're up now.

Wish there was one standardized format to rule them all.

Guess I can dream.

It'd be nice, wouldn't it? ePub is an attempt to do that, but time will tell if it actually happens.
