Big sale of Quercus Publishing titles at Kobo and Amazon

slex · 10-26-2013, 07:19 AM

The British publisher Quercus has a sale at Kobo and most of the discounted books are price-matched at Amazon.

I don't know about georestrictions - I am from Eastern Europe and I was able to find dozens of discounted titles (prices ranging roughly between $1,5-$3).

The problem is that Kobo doesn't allow to search by publisher (at least I don't know how to do it). For Amazon just enter "Quercus" in the search field and then sort by price.

Here is a link to the US Kobo search for Quercus as a publisher. This is a tough decision, should I buy with my Amazon gift card, or buy at Kobo with at least 30% off the already discounted price with the various coupons (and not have to convert from azw3)?

For some reason the link for the Kobo search results doesn't work for me.

What do you get if you are looking at a book and select the author's name? I get something like: http://store.kobobooks.com/en-US/Sea...chfield=Author and my search for the publisher just replaces the part after query= with quercus&fcsearchfield=Publisher&sort=PriceAsc. I'm guessing you need a different value before the /Search? .

I get the books by that author.

But I don't get the books by the publisher.

I get only 10 books and they all have the word "Quercus" in their title. Anyway, I found most of the books that interest me by browsing the publisher's website and then checking on the Kobo website if the book is discounted. The search results from Amazon can also help in this respect.

The Kobo search gives me 823 books, I can't check them all but the ones I have clicked on are all published by Quercus. However the special prices don't seem to apply in my geographic location.
