Bought Delphi's Zola from Kobo, with a discount coupon

Same here. I was really tempted to patronize them again with this 40% discount but I was reminded of how pissed upset I was when their site crashed and how they handled it afterwards, and that helped me resist.

Well, I bought Delphi's Complete Trollope as well, I really like how they did Zola.
From Amazon though, but who cares, 1$ more will not ruin me (hopefully)
I do have Penguin Classics editions of Barsetshire and Palliser chronicles, but I definitely don't have his complete works.

Congratulations on getting the Zola title.

I am a HUGE Trollope fan and have read about 20 of his novels. Unfortunately, I can't remember where I bought my copy, and do not have the most current version.

I've yet to check Sony. I may have also bought it from Nook (but I doubt that.)

I bought it from SOMEWHERE, that I certainly know!

Thanks I love Trollope too.
I just hope you bought your book from a store which is still operational. I decided to store all my cleaned purchases on my own drives.

Yep. I too was tempted. However, the wound is still too new. I will find it very difficult to trust Delphi any time soon. I didn't loose my books, since I have them backed up. However, their "promise" of updates etc. are gone in the server crash wind. Just be wary of empty promises about receiving collection updates if you choose to purchase from Delphi Classics.

Yep.. I too didn't lose any originally purchased books, but their attitude after the crash and their lack of doing simple backups will prevent me from spending any more money with them.

Thanks for posting this coupon code. I got a few of the authors I was waiting to appear like Thoreau and de Maupassant and a few other I was waiting for a good deal on.

[Dr. Drib]

Well, I ended up buying 17 of these things!

I love the classics. Plus, even though I consider myself extremely well-read, there are a number of lesser titles by some of those authors that I have yet to read.
