I thought of that, so I just downloaded a free book in the kobo desktop that was only web or mobile and I can't find where it put it.

Huh. Somehow I'd gotten the impression that "Mobile" also included the actual Kobo device when loaded via sync. Thanks for clearing that up for me!

I had been looking at The Collected Novels Of José Saramago but since it's only web or mobile, I got The Jack Daniels Six Pack. Only 10.45 with coupon so at least I got a bargain on that.

Yeah, I had this one pre-ordered at Amazon or I might have screwed up and bought it at Kobo. I'm always forgetting to check formats first, but have been lucky so far (only one web only purchase).

Thank you for the idea! I don't like all the little charges on my CC too, but I never thought of that.

Anyway, I had been hoping for a coupon like this to use on one of the ebooks by a local publisher (they tend to jack up the prices, for some reason). Got an ebook which is usually $20 for half-price, sweet. Now to use the newer 25% coupon on something cheaper.

I just found The Collected Novels Of José Saramago in epub at the Philadelphia library, so Kobo just lost a sale by not having the right format. I am #5 in line on the waitlist but they allow up to 21 days so with 12 novels in it I probably have a long wait.

Hmmm...Kobo is the only place (so far) that I've bought ebooks, although I've been looking at a few Smashwords ones. But the last (only...) time I bought pbooks from Amazon (admittedly, about 5 years ago now) it allowed me to put multiple books in a cart and pay for them all at once. And I haven't bought from the other places mentioned.

But that is a good idea about the gift cards - will think about that.

Curiously, the book I ended up buying (see earlier post) is actually published by Penguin, but I still got the discount.

I think Kobo is terrific; good prices and frequent coupons--I'm a happy customer.
The worst in functionality. I didn't say I was an unhappy customer, just wish the site was better.

There's another thread where someone's had problems with the Kobo gift card when using coupons--the wrong price was deducted.

I myself have had no problems, but apparently it's something to keep a close eye on, just in case.
