This is sad. HQ has been around for ever they don't need to be swallowed up as another imprint. It says they will remain different but for how long.

For those of you who may not follow the Kobo thread, there's a few good deals [books for $.02] in India on books from Danielle Steel, James Patterson, Dan Brown etc.


ETA: The Fifty Shades Trilogy Bundle is also on sale for $.03

Just click on any of the categories at the top (Historical, Paranormal, Contemporary, etc). Then on the new page the left sidebar should have a link "Featured eBooks"

I tried that and every time I add something to a cart to checkout, it tells me my cart is empty. I am even signed in at this point, still nada. I am thinking the links to get the books are not live yet somehow.
Why did they mess with it to the point that its so hard to use now. When they first started it all worked. Then they made it so you can buy the 6 pack whenever, taking away the feeling of a club and then they redesigned the site and now I can't even get one of the selections.

I agree COMPLETELY and wrote a complaint. I did finally get the site to work by going to the Featured Books page, then clicking on the "more information" button for each book I wanted to buy. The links on each book's individual page *do* work. I then checked out after buying each individual book. Since I wanted four of this month's selections, it got tedious, but it worked.

They REALLY should have left well enough alone. The old site actually worked!!

This worked, thanks. I signed in, then went to the historical section which then let me see the side bar. I clicked on featured and tried one more time to add to cart from that page and checkout, doesn't work. I had to click on the book first to see it full description and there I had the large free for members button. I checked one out now finally. These are more steps than doing german taxes.

Got a e-Newsletter today advising me that this book is on sale:

The Scandal in Kissing an Heir by Sophie Barnes

Lady Rebecca is determined to find a husband on her own terms, rather than marry any of the aging suitors her greedy aunt and uncle foist upon her. Her chance comes at the Kingsborough Ball, where she meets several potential grooms, yet no one compares to the dangerously handsome Daniel Neville. Notorious rake and heir to the Marquess of Wolvington, Daniel Neville is in need of a bride, but finding a lady who’s willing to accept his past is an entirely different matter. When he spies a stunning woman across the ballroom, Daniel believes he’s found her, until scandal erupts around them.

Hard as You Can (Hard Ink #2) by Laura Kaye - $2.49
Kindle | Nook

Ever since hard-bodied, drop-dead-charming Shane McCallan strolled into the dance club where Crystal Dean works, he's shown a knack for getting beneath her defenses. For her little sister's sake, Crystal can't get too close. Until her job and Shane's mission intersect, and he reveals talents that go deeper than she could have guessed.

Shane would never turn his back on a friend in need, especially a former Special Forces teammate running a dangerous, off-the-books operation. Nor can he walk away from Crystal. The gorgeous waitress is hiding secrets she doesn't want him to uncover. Too bad. He's exactly the man she needs to protect her sister, her life, and her heart. All he has to do is convince her that when something feels this good, you hold on as hard as you can--and never let go.

I'm really bummed about the Harper Collins/Harlequin thing. I use my good Kobo coupons on some of the monthly bundles. Drat!

If one were to want to, uh, travel at Kobo, how would one do so? PM is fine if it's a secret, unless it involves having a second account in which case I'll pass...

KyBunnies are you here? I need bunny help! Yes, I know, totally off topic. I just rescued a baby bunny from a cat. I've got it in a box in my guest room. What the heck do I do? Put it back out? I can't find the nest.
