Kobo’s marketing department is good at keeping things interesting. For the next week, from March 5th to March 12th, Kobo is running a promotion where you can get coupons based on how much you spend on your next purchase of ebooks.
If you already seen this deal a couple of days ago, check the details again because Kobo must’ve been required to change it. Before they offered $$$ back in the form of eGift cards, which could be used on Agency ebooks. Publishers must’ve complained. No one is allowed to offer discounts on precious Agency ebooks in any shape or form. God forbid ebookstores compete for your purchases.
Here’s how the Kobo promotion works:
- Get a 15% coupon when you spend $25 or more
- Get a 20% coupon when you spend $35 or more
- Get a 30% coupon when you spend $55 or more

Barnes and Noble offers a free book every Friday of which I often take advantage of.
Kobo is not as generous and that’s to bad.
I own a NOOK and a Sharper Image Liberati so I am married to both companies.
The free books offered by Kobo are old classics such as Dracula, Tom Sawyer,etc. and that is not very generous either. A new thriller by Guy Saville will be available on March 8 I believe. Amazon has it in its sights as does B&N.
Kobo nothing.
My favorite ebook by the way is the Liberati with the lighted screen reversed which renders it for night reading . I used to have difficulty falling asleep- yet with this ereader I conk out well now. It’s a pity that Kobo is not so giving.
