The Orthodox Study Bible is on sale for $4.99.
B&N Kobo Amazon I've mentioned this before, but this is one of my favorites. The Old Testament is a translation of the Greek Septuagint rather than the Hebrew Masoretic text. It's eligible for coupon codes at Kobo US. The coupon landscape is pretty sparse right now, but there are some 25% and 35% ones floating around. |

Can someone school this newbie to ebooks on kobo coupons? I only have a kindle, so I imagine these codes are only good if you have a Kobo device, right?

No, Kindle users can take advantage of Kobo coupons (I used to do it for years before I got my Sony). But you'll have to be willing to strip the DRM (unless your chosen book is already DRM-free) and convert in order to read on a Kindle (though I notice you have a Kindle Fire, so maybe you'll be able to install an ADE-DRM-compatible ePub reading app?). Anyway, Kobo coupons can be used on almost any eligible title in the Kobobooks.com store (allowing for a compatible store country, that is, as some coupons will only work in certain countries). You can see couponable titles in the search results by clicking "Items eligible for promo codes" in the sidebar, though sometimes this is glitchy and the filter lets through items it turns out you actually can't discount when you try, or perhaps it needs a code tied to a special promotion. Also, some coupons can only be used on a selected list of books, while others are more general use. Many codes are single-use only, but some can be used multiple times. To use the codes, make sure to set up your Kobo account so that it uses the shopping cart instead of 1-click buying (this is a setting in your preferences). And to actually use them, it's as simple as "Add to Cart", going to the checkout, and near the bottom of the checkout you'll see a box in which to enter the promo code, which will give you an error message if your code is not applicable, or a warning if the book is not couponable at all. A caveat: sometimes books are only available in the kepub format, or sometimes some sort of other Kobo-device-only format for certain academic titles. You may or may not be able to get one of the kepub-DRM-removing tools to work for you (I haven't managed it yet). Anyway, to check what format the book actually comes in, you'll have to "Save Preview" for the title, and then go to your account library to have a look under the listing to see what if any formats it's downloadable in. If it doesn't say either "ePub (DRM-free)" or "Adobe DRM ePub" next to the Download Options line, then you may wish to rethink your prospective purchase. The dedicated Kobo coupons thread will have much more info and tips on making best use of the coupons, but these are the basics. Hope this helps. Last edited by ATDrake; 09-16-2014 at 11:54 AM.

If you're willing to remove the DRM, the books can be used with any device or app that supports epub. They are also then easily converted to Kindle format using Calibre. DRM removal can only be obliquely discussed at MobileRead, but information can be found by Googling "Apprentice Alf". I will say, though, that the means to remove DRM can be added right to Calibre and if you're comfortable using computers, getting everything set up isn't particularly challenging. Here are a few Kobo books that are always free, so you can try converting them to your Kindle or finding another satisfactory way to read them. I hope you can find a process that works for you. Here are a few that are perpetually free and can be downloaded with Adobe DRM. HCSB: Navigating the Horizons in Bible Translations War and Peace Paradise Lost Update: If you do indeed have a Kindle Fire and don't want to remove the DRM, here is a link to instructions for installing Bluefire Reader on your Kindle Fire. Bluefire will read epubs with Adobe DRM. Last edited by Difflugia; 09-16-2014 at 01:41 PM. Reason: Added Bluefire Reader link |

Thanks ATDrake, that really helped. Not my wallet or book backlog, but my understanding at least!

Touch the Sky by Robert Elmer, 8th in his Young Underground series of YA historical action adventure thrillers set in occupied Denmark during WWII, this volume originally out from Bethany House in 1997. A morning flight over Helsingør turns dangerous when the pilot, Matthias Karlsson, blacks out without warning. Almost as terrifying is the find thirteen-year-old Peter Andersen makes in the cockpit—a hidden handgun! When Matthias comes to just in time to save their plane from crashing into the sea, Peter puts the shocking discovery behind him—for the moment. Certain Matthias is hiding something, Peter persuades Henrik Melchior to join him in spying on the man, and the friends witness a suspicious nighttime meeting with a foreign ship captain. What's worse, a mysterious stranger appears to be spying on Matthias, too. Suddenly, Peter, Elise, and Henrik find themselves at the center of a dangerous plot. If Matthias is involved, are the Melchiors in danger also? If so, Peter may be about to lose his best friend! |

Road Blog by Robert Elmer, 6th in his HyperLinkz tweens/YA contemporary sci-fi-ish Internet adventure thriller series, originally out from Random House's Crown Publishing Group division's Christian-oriented Multnomah WaterBrook Press imprint in 2005. Who knew getting lost could be so much fun—or so dangerous? When the Websters leave Normal, Illinois, for a family holiday, Austin and Ashley get pulled right back into the World Wide Web—and this time, Mr. and Mrs. Webster get sucked into the Internet, too! What began as a relaxing getaway turns into a wacky road trip when they set out to find Lost Lake Resort. Soon, the Websters are stumbling through a long lineup of lost links, like LostKitty-dot-com, the Lost Sea Cave, the long-lost Inca city, and a lost round-the-world flight. Ah, but this is no vacation, any more! Because the kids’ old rival Mattie Blankenskrean and her assistant Mr. Z still want to wipe out truth on the Internet, and a final showdown with the two drags the whole Webster family into real danger. Can the Websters escape Mattie and find their way back to Normal… before they’re deleted for good? Last edited by ATDrake; 09-19-2014 at 01:57 PM. Reason: Series name. |

The MacArthur Bible Commentary and the NKJV edition of The MacArthur Study Bible are both on sale for $6.99. The commentary is just the study notes and material from the study Bible without the Bible. In ebook, I find the commentary easier to use than the study Bible.
They're eligible for coupon codes at Kobo and there's a contest right now, so US, UK and Canadian customers can get another discount on top of the sale price. Commentary: B&N Kobo Amazon Study Bible: B&N Kobo Amazon |

Panic at Emu Flat by Robert Elmer, 8th and last in his Adventures Down Under series of Australia-set tween/YA mystery/adventure thrillers, originally out from Bethany House in 1999. What secrets do the growing shadows hide? Patrick McWaid can’t understand why his friend Jefferson would leave the Lady Elisabeth to work on another ship. Sure, the Victoria is a much fancier paddle steamer, but Jeff’s new boss, First Officer York, is a tyrant and a bully. And when Jeff and the Victoria steam away from Goolwa, they leave a strange but valuable cargo behind—two crates full of ostriches! The McWaids have no choice but to take on the extra load, and when they catch up to the Victoria at Emu Flat, Patrick has a run-in with the disagreeable Officer York. Once the Lady E arrives in Echuca, though, Patrick hears rumors that an officer from the Victoria has died. It could be York, but is Patrick somehow to blame? And now Jefferson has disappeared! Where could he be? No one on the Victoria is talking. What’s the big secret?
