I just bought one book which wasn't coupon eligible in most countries in Europe. But I changed location to Mexico and I bought it with BookRiot50 promo code. I'm so happy.

Yeah, me too. Fortunately for me, Macmillan, Random House, and Penguin (are they the same thing yet?) don't seem to be discountable in the US again, so I don't have that "it's a bargain" mentality when I'm thinking "buy or wait".

Yes, or an even better coupon through their monthly contest. I did get an offer for a 30% off coupon if I give Kobo my birthday, or 20% off for the 4th anniversary of registering with Kobo back when they were still Shortcovers. Hmmm, do I take 20% off or 50% off with bookriot50? Still, those are better coupons that I get from B&N (i.e., no coupons at all). I just wish that I could get Kobo gift cards with my credit card cash-back bonus.

If the publishers step in and said no more I see this as once in a lifetime thing. I don't think they will change it back as I don't think Kobo was the one who decided to disable it. Agency hasn't really gone away. It's just has some leeway now to where the retailers can lower the price just a little bit.

I started a thread on the Kobo forum about the credit card issue / error message when trying to buy books problem - didn't see the previous posts about this issue until it was pointed out to me. Did anyone get this resolved? If so, please answer on the Kobo forum thread. Thanks so much!

Two days ago, I bought a book on Kobo and used the discount code Bookriot50 to get it half price. Great. The following day (yesterday), I look and the same book has dropped by about $7. So in effect I only ended up saving about $3 instead of the $12 or so I had initially saved.
It's a brand new book that's just come out. I feel a bit ripped off. If I hadn't used a discount code, I would be feeling very very ripped off. |
