Some of the bundled books are non-agency. I just bought my husband The Complete Circle Series, by Ted Dekker and saved $43.01 using the 90% coupon.

Thanks for the suggestion from others on the Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes books and the Making of Psycho. Great choices for very little money. This makes me miss the good old days of Fictionwise.

I picked up Octavia Butler's Fledgling and Steven Erikson's Gardens of the Moon with these. Thank you! Both are rereads but well worth it, as I mean to collect all of Malazan. Unfortunately only the first book allowed promo codes.

After scouring Kobo for discountable titles I got myself a couple books with the $10 off coupons- The Other Mr. Darcy and The Darcy Cousins by Monica Fairview for 9 cents each. With the 90% off coupons I got an interesting looking aviation thriller for my Dad- Fly By Wire by Ward Larsen for $1.01. Also got Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco for $1.07 ; I remember reading the 650ish page hardcover from the library, lugging it around annoying my Mom by reading at the breakfast table (tried but failed to read at dinner too! ) A grand total of $2.26.

New here. I have no trouble using these discount codes. No trouble with account. I've purchase over 70 books, most with promo codes.
I love my Kobo. No luck though, with welcome5us & 10us. Oh well. I just scored big with 50,75,90 off x2 and the $5 & $10 off was a smash success! Many thanks to all! |

Just discovered two more that worked:
Click by Nick Hornby and others Speaking with the Angel by Nick Hornby and others I'm a big Hornby fan and have read all his novels, so for less than a dollar each these seemed like good picks, even if they're not completely by him. Last edited by K. Molen; 04-22-2012 at 07:01 AM. |

Every book I thought about buying won't accept promo codes. Nice offer but doesn't look like I'll be buying any new books today, saved me some cash at least

If anyone knows of any other "box sets" that are sci-fi, fantasy or thriller based post away. Sadly game of thrones is excluded from the promo codes. I should have perservered more with my initial search for some books :P |

Thanks for that. I've never heard of Ted Dekker, but for £1.34, the "Circle" series sounds interesting, and worth a risk.

Yeah, it is too bad, that there isn't a collection of whole series "Malazan book of the Fallen".

Googling hasn't turned up any difference in the 4-in-1 and "box set", seems odd for them to have both on sale. All I can find is the real hardback box set included the green novel, but that's also in the 4-in-1 version. Last edited by JoeD; 04-22-2012 at 10:03 AM. |

Be careful sometimes I find when there's 2 versions and ones cheaper then it's because one is an Epub and one a PDF, not always the case but I have been caught out like that before.

The "4-in-1" of the "Circle" series is ePub. I made sure of that before I bought it . It converts fine to Mobi using the usual methods.

Yeah, in this case it looks like both are ADE ePub and I can see no difference content wise.
