IT'S INSANE!

How can one NOT buy a $10.00 ebook for 78 cents?!

Me 2! Purchased around 100 yesterday for a total of $46 and change! This is crazy!!!!! This may never happen again so everyone needs to jump on this. I hope Kobo is not monitoring this thread to see these posts - they may shut it off.

Big ticket item for me yesterday was a $13.00 book for $1.31. How could I not buy it!

Good Luck all.

Thanks for that wonderful 90% code. Added some books to my library.

The fdkY9rd promo code is working but only on certain books/publishers. It will not likely work on a New York Times bestseller or a recently published book, but it will work on certain books.

I tried the code on 10 different best selling book without success before getting the code on several lesser known books.

Wow, now I feel almost guilty. I have ebates automatically set in my browser and Kobo is currently at 5% back. And due to some bug the ebates were calculated on the original price of the stuff I bought, rather than the discounted price. So after getting 90% off, I got another 5% off, and the 5% was calculated on original purchase price, not the discounted price, for a total of 95% off.

As for the credit card - my card is getting charged for each transaction and I get notified from the bank about the charge. So I guess that all who are worried that they'll be later charged for full amounts - that is not the likely scenario. As Katsunami said, worst case you might get your payments reimbursed and boosk taken out of library.
Well... *toast to Alf*

If that would happen, I'd actually have the books for free.

The very worst scenario that could happen is having your account blocked and deleted, without any re-imbursements.

In that case... *toast to Alf again*

Quote:
But I don't see that happening - 95comic was similar situation and I bought many books that time as well. Kobo's receipts were late, but the amount I paid remained the same - 5% of the retail price Bank cannot charge me for what I have not authorised as payment.
I have no credit card at Kobo (or anywhere else, except Feedbooks, for that matter); everything is done through Paypal. They have sent a receipt for every transaction, and I assume they'll put one total charge onto the credit card at the end of the month. They've always done it like that.

The 90% code still works!

Just bought two books by Thomas Tryon (the actor-turned-writer), who died about 20 some years ago.

Try The Other and also Harvest Home.

Wonderful horror novels that I read over twenty years.

Exactly so now we are going to help each other SPEND the $$$$. Yes, I felt the influence and purchased the box set also - it looks like a great series. Hubby will probably enjoy these as well.

Geez! I've come to the point where I have emptied my wishlist and even inadvertently bought a book which I already had. And now I'm frantically thinking of search terms which might yield books I might like. I think I should stop...

Just did a Google search for Kobo 90% and got this link to the Canadian store with the coupon code 90bk, so I don't know if that codes for only those books as well if it's single or multi use.
