Well this Contest sucks big time, eh!!
![]() But Kobo saves me money by not having good codes - because I don't actually 'have to have' any more books for a very long time. However, I would buy some more only if I got 75% codes. So, it looks like this time around I save money by not buying what I don't really need, lol. ![]() ![]() ![]() PS And I was just sayin' this same thing to me emu mate pictured there!! ![]() |

I don't like the contest this time either. The highest one I've got so far is 30%. I don't even dare to hope for a 75% off code; just a couple of 55% or 65% codes will be more than enough to make my day.

Bah...nothing but 25% coupons this time so far. Might post what I'm not using on the last day of the contest.

![]() Half price Kobo = almost Amazon price. For example The Fault in Our Stars is $9.99 on Kobo, $4.99 on Amazon, Unlucky 13 is $14.04 on Kobo, $8.99 on Amazon, Mr. Mercedes is $15.99 on Kobo, $11.99 on Amazon, etc. (all prices from US stores). With those types of differences, why ever would I bother to shop on Kobo without a discount code? |

It really depends on what you read. Oh, it was the Parenting Yogi book that I blogged about that was cheaper on Kobo with the coupons. They are out there, but it's always pick and choose! |

Definitely. I find most books I buy from any kind of publisher (digital first, small pub, large pub) often need at least a 35% coupon to get around Amazon's price, but for self-pubbed stuff and some small pub stuff neither Amazon or Kobo discount often so even lower percentage Kobo codes can help. For me if the price is close I'm likely to go with Amazon due to past experiences with customer service at both among other reasons. The thing the really high percentage codes do is get me to buy things now that I might not have bought otherwise until much later.

Yeah for the books I buy the Amazon-Kobo price difference isn't nearly as drastic, but Amazon is often at least a dollar cheaper. So if there's at least a 40% coupon I might still go kobo, but otherwise as a Kindle user it's just easier in many ways for me to buy from Amazon.

I won't buy from Amazon, unless I can't find the book anywhere else.
Plus, I don't have to convert anything, however easy it is. Kobo has epubs and their 50% off is a fair price. I do want the authors to get the money, too. I just got a bunch of 35% off, used two and still have one left, if anyone is interested ![]() 35% 2htw6H |
