It's not really worth bothering for less than 75% these days, is it?

Someone earlier was mentioning that they saw different prices with the new site. I've just been given three different prices trying to buy a book with the 85Off coupon. On this machine, using an oldish version of Safari and the old site, it shows as £10.31. On my iPad, using iOS6 and mobile Safari and the new site, it shows as £9.71, and then when I actually go to buy it, it shows as £8.33.

Actually, I've just realised that I have been charged based on £9.71 so I guess that last price must be less tax. The way it shows the discount is bizarre, since it's the difference between the tax-free full price and the tax-inclusive discounted price, which is not 85% of anything relevant, but it comes up with the right answer so I guess it doesn't matter in the end.

Worked only once for me as well. Saved me over 15 euros, though. Cheers!

I have tired the following codes and they don't work anymore:

75off (75% off)
80Nvbr (80% off)
95comic (95% off)
BLACKFRIDAYFIFTY (50% off)

75off is still working for me (tested it, but have not use it). All those are single use so perhaps you used it already? The rest seem to have expired, although I can't test 95comic since I used that one previously.

Thanks.

Worked for me in Germany. I just bought Dangerous Women, edited by George R. R. Martin and Gardner Dozois for 2,76 €. No need to wait until the price drops.

I thought I was done and was resisting all these, but thanks to you I got this one too.

I also bought that one, but with the 75Off coupon. I used the 85Off coupon for The Weird, edited by Ann & Jeff VanderMeer.

I just noticed Kobo has "Daily Deal" offer on their homepage. Today's deal is the same as Amazon's.

spersephone · 12-03-2013, 07:41 PM

I don't think they've got that on the Australian homepage.

No Daily Deal on the Hong Kong homepage. Though I notice the "Recommended for You" list at the top now includes the last three books I bought from Kobo. Smart! If you liked them books, you'll like them again!

I get that as well ... so ridiculous

spersephone · 12-03-2013, 08:18 PM

I do wish their recommended list was a bit easier to edit - you can do it, it's too time consuming though. I've got half the ones they've advised me I'd like, and a pile of them I'd bought from them.

You're welcome

I like it when people post what they used the code on because it gives me ideas of which authors/books are couponable. With a big code I always go searching for bundles/boxsets/collections/anthologies/trilogies etc
