BooksonBoard Canadian Weekend of 26% off books

JenPen1 · 10-03-2009, 07:27 PM

Received a news letter from BooksonBoard informing me that Canadians can receive 26% off this weekend. I thought I would pass it on to other Canadians. Only in Canada, eh?

Here's a link to the books:

Dear BooksOnBoard Customer,

26% off this weekend - for our Canadian customers ONLY. Use the promo code CanadaOnBoard (case sensitive) at checkout and immediately get 26% off publishers list on all eBooks and downloadable audio books - plus Rewards dollars for future purchases.

Uniquely, our eBooks work on more devices than the other options. And, unlike our big competitors, our ebooks can be used on Sony Readers, Cybooks, Astak EZ Reader, Windows PCs, Macs, Netbooks, iPhones and more. That's because we are the world's largest retailer of industry standard Adobe ePUB and Adobe Digital Editions titles from major publishers. So protect your eBook investment and share it with family and friends by buying from BooksOnBoard.

We've been In the Canadian eBook business longer than the other outfits. BooksOnBoard has been selling eBooks and serving them to Canadian customers since 2006, longer than any of our billion dollar competitors who sell eBooks as a sideline to other businesses. Our eBook customers are always #1 for us.

I received an email from Shortcovers today that they are offering 25% off all ebooks this weekend, until October 5, and I'm pretty sure you don't have to live in Canada to get it. Looks like Books on Board is trying to go one better.

1. Choose your eBook & click on "Buy Now"
2. Sign in or create an account
3. Type in discount code — fall25 — & click submit

I got some more of these emails which say the same thing, and definitely think BooksonBoard is taking a jab at Shortcovers. The problem is that Shortcovers has access to Random House Canada books which are not available elsewhere.

Right now with the exchange rate where it is at, the books are cheaper to buy from the US sites in US dollars as the prices offered in CND on Shortcovers are not competitive, Shortcovers has to give a discount on the CND prices to compete right now. The BOB deal undermines this effort as it is a better buy to get from them at a discount from the USD prices. For me it is BOB for international fiction, Shortcovers for Canadian fiction.
