Yes, I've been noticing that too. With the dearth of high percentage Kobo discount codes, Books on Board is quickly becoming my favorite eBook store. The current 40% off sale includes HarperCollins and other publishers which Kobo doesn't allow coupons on. With the bonus discount for carts over $15 and an additional discount of 1% for using Google Checkout, the books become even cheaper.

That's strange. I've compared Books on Board prices with Kobo for over six months, and not once has BoB had a lower price than Kobo, even without the Kobo coupon.

At least here in the US, the non sale prices tend to be a few cents cheaper at BoB (on non-agency books)... Something like $10.99 at Kobo and $10.19 at BoB... With a decent Kobo coupon, Kobo is much cheaper. BoB still won't award bonus dollars (or allow bonus dollars to be used) for the former agency books, but when they run a sale like the current 40% off, many of the former agency books are also discounted, so based on the $10.99 price above and assuming a former agency book, you have Kobo at $10.99 (with no chance of using a coupon) and BoB at $6.59 ($10.99 minus 40%). Plus, as I mentioned, BoB also has additional discounts for carts over $15 and for using Google Checkout. If you buy exclusively Penguin titles in the US, you won't see any benefit from third scenario.

If you go to Secure Check out and you're not seeing the bonus then go back and empty your cart into your wishlist (your cart contents will remain at the top of your wish list so it won't be hard to locate and add them back in). Find an item that costs less than $2.50 and add it to your cart. Click Secure Checkout. You should see the $1.50 off $15 cart offer show up. Go back to your wishlist and add original cart contents back (you can get rid of the cheap item if it wasn't an intended purchase). Click Secure Checkout again, you should get the bonus discount.
