Just had a look and any points you receive on a purchase are as i suspected equivalent to whatever you pay at final checkout so heavy voucher users like us will be getting fewer points against the full point earning potential of any given title.

I'm not sure the whole scheme (vip or otherwise) is very worthwhile looking at it on the surface but maybe someone can dig deeper and work out a little loophole to benefit us poor voucher scrabbling folk.

I do like the fact that kobo are getting a little more pro active though and at least trying something new.
Not sure if this is something, but I wanted to test it out in my cart (did not purchase, just seeing the comparison) and the VIP membership is couponable. O_O

It also does 10% off couponable books and you can add a coupon on top of it. (It discounts the book in your cart, then the coupon applies to the discounted price.)

For me, I think if I could get my hands on a really high value coupon (75%+), it might be worth it just to try out. But I am not interested in paying $10 or even $5 for it at this point in time. YMMV.

Even newer news! https://store.kobobooks.com/kobosuperpoints/vip there is apparently a second tier of superpoints.
Purchased the VIP using store credit (wish I had thought to try a coupon against it!). Was sent an email with a code to select my free eBook. Code only works on the list. I was able to multi-tab it, acquired three books, valued at $15+, for the cost of the VIP.

That was an accident. :P
I already had two books in my cart with coupons applied when I was checking the difference.

Gonna go browse that list!

I don't see anything on their list of freebies that I'd want to read so I'll pass on paying for VIP.

Gisu, I'd complain. I got one a week or so back and it worked just fine. On several books.

There's a dedicated thread about Super Points here in case anyone is interested...
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=265804

My first thoughts are that it's nice they're trying different things, but you need a lot of points ($240 worth) for what they cost to acquire just to get some of the cheaper ($0.99 to $3.99 retail) books. It'll be a nice bonus if a book is earned, but it's not exciting enough to get me to up may spending there to earn points. YMMV of course.

I scrolled all through that "free book" list and did not see one book you could pay me to read.

I'm not at all encouraged by this development. "Pay to shop" VIP schemes historically seem to be the last desperate, usually hopeless, attempt to save a dying business. Amazon Prime excluded, of course, but that isn't really the same thing.

Where did you see the list of free books?

I probably spend enough at Kobo to make buying a $10 VIP membership worthwhile without the free book, but it would be gravy if there were some good ones to choose from.

Geoff, from memory there was a link to the free books in the explanatory email.

There was a a link to this page, and that had a link to 1.5 million books that I could get by redeeming points, but with VIP membership you also get a free book every year and I couldn't find any indication of what sort of books were available to chose that free one from.
