I just received an email from Kobo stating they added thousands of new titles to their Super Points program. I checked a few of them and they were published by Hachette.

Improving rewards that way (adding bigger name titles) would certainly make the program more appealing. |

Looking further, I see Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie is available for 4000 points. However, the second and third books in the series aren't redeemable using Super Points.

Well, some titles are better than none.

(Edit: It also includes lots of Random House titles, but Random House already allows all of their books to be bought with super points in New Zealand.) Last edited by GeoffR; 01-04-2017 at 08:52 PM. Reason: Added link to (NZ?) list. |

Kobo Canada has a new promotion up for Bestselling Mysteries & Thrillers under $4.99, good until January 19th.
There's a good batch of stuff from the Canadian branches of major publishers, which may or may not be matched at their US counterparts. Authors include Agatha Christie (2 pages of her works discounted to mostly $1.99 CAD, if you missed the 99 cent sale several years ago), Elizabeth Peters (an assortment of random titles in her Amelia Peabody, Jacqueline Kirby, and Vicky Bliss series), Martin Walker (an omnibus edition of #1-4 in his Bruno, Chief of Police series is just $9.99, down from around twice that regularly; ETA: it looks like the individuals of #2-4 are $2.99, and #1 is 99 cents and was a freebie several years ago, so if you already have that or prefer non-bundled versions, it may work better to buy them solo), and more. Dedicated promo page with categories: Fascinating Female Sleuths, Must Read British Crime & Mystery, The World's Bestselling Novelist of All Time: Agatha Christie, Call 911: Police Procedurals, Spine-tingling Mysteries, Bestselling & Popular Thrillers ETA: Apparently, some of these are redeemable for points. But at these low price-points, I'd mostly advise spending the money and hoarding the points towards something more expensive. IIRC it's 2400 points for a book up to the $2.99 mark, and then 2800 points for a book up to $4.99 CAD in English (points are worth more for the few French-language books they're applicable to).

Just used DSCVR90BK on a book. I'm sure I used it in the past. I'm a happy camper.

Kobo US currently has a "start a new series and save" promotion which has a number of good deals in its science fiction and fantasy section and I imagine also in some of its other categories.
(I posted more details for some of the sci fi and fantasy books in the FREE/BARGAIN — Science Fiction, Fantasy — 2017 if those interest you) https://www.kobo.com/us/en/p/startanewseries2017 Deal is available until January 16 |
