Kobo Discounts: Coupon Codes + Discussion - Page 497

jessc · 05-04-2014, 01:32 PM

Wow, I had about one USD in credit at Kobo, and it's amazing how many books I'm able to get with that!!

One I haven't seen mentioned but that I was happy to find is The Magic Three of Solatia by Jane Yolen for a whopping RS 2.99: http://store.kobobooks.com/en-US/ebo...ree-of-solatia

A few of her other books are similarly priced.

If you like cooking don't miss the three books from Nigella Lawson. But beware the books are with metric measures...

Synamon · 05-04-2014, 03:05 PM

Couldn't resist buying 15 books I don't need and could probably get from the library anyway for ~RS 30. I also went for the pre-order of Children of War by Martin Walker, it's not priced quite so insanely, but still cheap at around $5 and it will help mitigate my guilt.

pdurrant · 05-04-2014, 03:09 PM

Got the Barbara Hambly and the Nigella Lawson. All at 40% off, of course: 40daze is multi-use.

pdurrant · 05-04-2014, 03:14 PM

Wow - the Terry Pratchett/Stephen Baxter Long Earth 3 is available for preorder for RS1.59!

And two P G Wodehouse Jeeves omnibuses from Random House are at RS 1.32!
Omnibus 1, Omnibus 2

Jane Casey's The Kill, #5 in her Maeve Kerrigan series, is avail for pre-order for RS 1.42

Other cookbooks on sale are River Cafe Two Easy, Mary Berry Cooks, and two Great British Bakeoff Titles. Also a Konditor & Cook pre-order, but my order got messed up, not sure if that was user error...Can't decide if I want to.deal with CS.

Also, bios of Roy Jenkins, Mitterand, Hockney, Will in the World, Hillary Clinton, Branson, David Jason, Russell Page (gardner), Ivan Klima, Diana Mosley, Karl Ove Knausgard, all for next to nothing.

That Roy Jenkins bio by John Campbell I paid around $8 for it and that was with a discount voucher from the contest. Compared to what they charge in India (RS2.26) that's rather astonishing.

(Many thanks, again, to the code posters.)

Looks like most Head of Zeus books are discountable - have to admit, took me a try or two before I realized the discount only applies to one book in the cart.

All the books in the India store are discountable

I don't ever use the cart, I just buy each straight out (I don't know if you're aware that you don't have to use the cart?)

And the Contest is about Best Romantic Couples

samy2 · 05-05-2014, 03:13 AM

I didn't know that there is such a thing as a cart. But now if the books are just a few cents, i put it in a cart. On these book I don't apply a code. But with cart if have less charges on my credit card. 12 books = Total: RS. 19.32.

Not in the TOP50 but very interesting (and normally rather expensive):
The Story of the Jews of Simon Schama

Lynx-lynx · 05-05-2014, 04:24 AM

@samy2, yeah I'm a bit hesitant about using a cart because of any potential problems when using codes. I can see your point when you're not using codes, and if it reduces the overall credit card fees, and for us here in Aus, the overseas purchases tax (which is usually cents, not dollars - well for my Kobo purchases anyway).

But for multi tabbing then of course single transaction is the only way to go.
