Judging from everyone who's jumping on the buying and hopefully wishlisting other stuff to consider for future coupons, it is getting people to shop in their store who normally might not.

Well, I had shopped a lot at Kobo in the days of 25%, 30%, and 35% coupons. They used to be routine. But for the longest time either there've been no coupons or measly 10% ones--it's not a big impetus to shop if you save only a buck or less.

I just wish I hadn't used both of the 90% coupons this morning--there's a $30 book I would have liked to get for three bucks.

The various codes work on books from Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin series (Master and Commander, etc.), which happen to priced at $10.69. About time I read some of those, I think.

Thanks. Got Deon Meyer's Heart of the Hunter. Thought I'd share since it took me a few tries to find a book that would accept coupons.

I'd welcome hearing what titles others have picked up with the $10 coupon. I know a few have posted, but none of those particularly tickle my fancy (or I own them already) and everything on my wishlist is cheaper than $10...

Found one! The Low Road by James Lear. (mm romance)

Catlady · 04-20-2012, 04:54 PM

Open Road publishes a number of Anne Perry titles (early volumes of the Thomas Pitt series), priced at $10.09 at Kobo.

bookratt · 04-20-2012, 04:55 PM

wahoo! Picked up 2 Harlequin sets of 4 books for 9 cents each with the $10 coupon code!

I've been wanting to try Janwillem Van De Wetering so I picked up Hard Rain and for fun I grabbed the first Donald E. Westlake Dortmunder caper, The Hot Rock. Both were priced at $10.09 in Canada.

vykim · 04-20-2012, 05:47 PM

As I mentioned in the other Kobo thread, I picked up a couple of Terry Pratchett's Discworld books for $0.29. Thanks!

OddCosine · 04-20-2012, 05:51 PM

The codes work on R.F. Delderfield's "To Serve Them All My Days", currently priced at $10.09 in the US. I've heard great things about this one on the forums here.

booklover6 · 04-20-2012, 05:59 PM

I got bored looking so I got the Kate Douglas 3 book bundle for .09 cents.

koland · 04-20-2012, 06:02 PM

For a UK account, welcome5us or welcome5ca are £5 off (but the 10 variant doesn't work).

also, seems some weird rule on how much total must be or it won't work (not just over £5)

abookreader · 04-20-2012, 06:03 PM

Wow - It is a Kobopalooza this week.

I'll certainly have enough reading material to keep me busy over the weekend. Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

koland · 04-20-2012, 06:30 PM

OK, welcome10ca (or us) is working for £10.00 off in the UK, but the price has to be higher than just £10.00 (I found one at 11.67 where it worked; another at £10.43 and it doesn't work).
