What did you spend your $10 on?

I have yet to spend my $10 store credit on anything, kind of waiting and browsing. just haven't decided which book i want to purchase or books if i get cheaper ones.

just wondering what others have used it for, maybe a good book or books i haven't heard of yet.

thanks in advance.

this book is on my shortlist but not sure if i want to dole out the $18 for it, yes $10 of it is store credit but i dunno

http://www.kobobooks.com/ebook/The-S...7fA/page1.html

more info from publishers weekly, taken off of amazon - sounds pretty interesting.
Spoiler:
Starred Review. Dewitt's bang-up second novel (after Ablutions) is a quirky and stylish revisionist western. When a frontier baron known as the Commodore orders Charlie and Eli Sisters, his hired gunslingers, to track down and kill a prospector named Herman Kermit Warm, the brothers journey from Oregon to San Francisco, and eventually to Warm's claim in the Sierra foothills, running into a witch, a bear, a dead Indian, a parlor of drunken floozies, and a gang of murderous fur trappers. Eli's deadpan narration is at times strangely funny (as when he discovers dental hygiene, thanks to a frontier dentist dispensing free samples of "tooth powder that produced a minty foam") but maintains the power to stir heartbreak, as with Eli's infatuation with a consumptive hotel bookkeeper. As more of the brothers' story is teased out, Charlie and Eli explore the human implications of many of the clichés of the old west and come off looking less and less like killers and more like traumatized young men. With nods to Charles Portis and Frank Norris, DeWitt has produced a genre-bending frontier saga that is exciting, funny, and, perhaps unexpectedly, moving. (May)


i could also get book 3 in this series, i have the first two. not read yet but it'd be nice to have them

edit: for those that registered their new kobo touch and got the $10 store credit that is

I had discount codes to apply as well, so I think I ended up paying $3.26 for the two of them, including tax.

I haven't used it yet, but I'm thinking of getting the Complete Writer's Guide to Heroes and Heroines: Sixteen Master Archetypes. I haven't purchased a new writing book in some time and someone I know was just talking about it today.

I bought Sapphique the follow up book to Incarceron which was decent but nowhere near as good as the first book.

i just finally used it, and kind of bundled another code with it.
used FirstRead which gave me 35% off and had the $10 credit and finally purchased a book that i had sitting there waiting for me to buy it for quite a while, since it's release i think.

anyway the book is

The Penalty Killing by Michael McKinley

Did not notice coupon

Ha. I didn't even notice this. I bought a Touch last night; connected & registered it; downloaded a couple of free books and then borrowed some from the public library. Aside from installing and figuring out the adobe digital editions software, this took less than 5 minutes.

I didn't even look at the email Kobo sent after registering until just now.

Do any Cdns know if I can combine this with gift certificate $$ I have in my Chapters account? I guess I'll find out when I try to buy something for the first time.

Have you noticed that the cost of ebooks has almost tripled? I dont understand this when you eleminate the need for rain forest support. Actually I think its greed. I seem to recall one of the reasons I wanted an ereader was to lower my cost of the paperback but now it seems at some point im paying more, and its kinda depressing.

wes did you check your junk mail? Also was the reader open? if it was open it was and is possible it was purchased and returned. If it was that may be the reason you have not recieved your credit.

At any rate I would call kobo customer service. They should be able to sort it out. IF nothing more then for good customer relations.
