Here's a multi-use code giving you 90% off eBooks. Great for those who have recently picked up a new Kobo eReader, although you can also read them on iPad, Android, PC etc. Usually codes are around 50-75% and I've never seen anything more than a 90%, so this is definitely a good deal!

As always there are some books which don't work, but many do. You can also use the filters to only show books which accept a promo code.

Not sure how long this will last so best to get your purchases in while you can. Enjoy!

    Picked up 10 books, then got accidentally owned by quick buy… doh!

    • memnemon on 04/03/2014 - 08:26

      heh, same here but it was a Neil Gaiman book so I didn't feel that bad :P and after I had changed country paying via CC (instead of paypal) - it saved the cc info from the previous transaction so went straight through - too many wash, rinse, repeat cycles :P

      Got a years worth of books so many thanks to the OP :)

  • Geekomatic on 03/03/2014 - 23:54

    Awesome find!

    Thanks to the OP- just an amazing find- really…

    I've purchased a ton, in all areas.

    Ta- so much!

    Cheers!

    I bought 56 books, that's it, I'm done. Otherwise I'll be here forever. Now to read… lulz!

    It's like those free Kindle books I keep collecting and never reading. Except I'm paying for them.

    Looked at my transactions after my spending spree.

    spent $150, should mean I got over $1500 worth of books.

    "and the real question is this:
    WAS ALL THIS LEGAL?"

    "ABSOLUTELY N…"

    YES ACTUALLY YES IT WAS

    Woke up and thought about giving it another go, but was greeted with a "cannot apply coupon" error. mixture of sadness and relief really.

    now, on to the 105 books that i'll never read but will download anyway.

    also, just got a flooded inbox of 105 kobo receipts. it has been a productive weekend.

    p.s. just a criticism of kobo, but the curation of content leaves a lot to be desired. i find myself sifting through identical amazon book reviews just to see if the book i want is really the book i want and not a cheap self-published knock-off. sigh. bought one or two bloody <POPULAR CULTURE TERM> & PHILOSOPHY books just because the cover looks legitimate.

      105!!??!!!

      And I thought I was bad with 32.

      105!!??!!!

  • Mimbula on 04/03/2014 - 07:27

    Purchased 41 new reads- but now won't accept the code at checkout: 'unable to apply promo code'…anyone else experiencing difficulties?

    • Hessian Sack on 04/03/2014 - 07:52

      I got the same on the one I tried just now.

    I nearly bought the entire collection of Alistair MacLean late last night on Kobo India when my bank blocked my credit card for suspected fraud.

  • random451 on 04/03/2014 - 08:38

    This sucks. I only just found this post and now the coupon doesn't work. I can't even get one book with it…

  • lumnerjacksteve on 04/03/2014 - 08:54

    Glad its over. Probably 90% of my ebooks are now Kobo, so they now have me as a customer and I'll likely go back when I want a new book…..in about 2026.

      This is actually a really good point.

      Imagine if they spent a million bucks on advertising trying to get people to switch fromAmazon. Most people would probably stick with Amazon no mtter how slick the TV or online ads were.

      Now imagine they spnd a million bucks selling books for 90% off. People load up, read and read and voila… now we're Kobo customers. We might be stocked up on reading but in a few months or a year or so a new book will come out and we'll pay full price because all our collections are Kobo and it's just more covenient to stick with that.

      All you ebooks are belong to us! LOL

    Many thanks OP but I suspect this is the first time I'm glad a deal has expired - I was 'saving' too much money… ;-)

      If you really want to play around with it you will probably find that they are all Kepup's

      I think that alf's tools will work on these however finding the file on your pc to run through calibre is a different matter. I think the following will work but I have not yet tried it myself
      Create a new library in calibre make sure you have tools installed. Download the kobo app and sync to your account do this so that it downloads all your books this should bring in all the ones you've listed above.

      Go to Users/Library/Application Support/Kobo/Kobo Desktop Edition/kepub on your PC this is where the kobo app keeps the kepup books unfortunately it doesn't identify the books by title
      Add all those files into your newly created calibre libray and hopefully Alfs tools will go to work onto them

    I think I went a bit overboard with these ebooks… not looking forward to the credit card bill…

    Does anyone by chance know of any good CC offers with a good balance transfer option? :P

    just wondering anyone has luck with reading adobe DRM pdf on their tablet? apparently kobo doesn't support these format and I can't deDRM them through Calibre with plugin installed…

      oops … realised that I had wrong plugin installed … all good for now XD

  • Tihocan on 05/03/2014 - 10:43

    For the ones that can only be sync'd with the Kobo Desktop application, I used this one posted on pastebin to remove the drm, after some tweaking for Win8 (putting the app exe's in PATH so the vars only show name.exe). Worked fine, imported them to Calibre and now reading them on my Kindle.

  • flyingtrapeze on 06/03/2014 - 14:31

    there is still 30% and 50% off coupons, FBR50 according to facebook

    • SteveOh on 07/03/2014 - 21:37

      They should always be 90% off!

      The poor authors are lucky to get 1% and the costs of producing the books are about 90% lower. Yes servers cost something to run but there's no expensive printing or shipping of heavy books or retailers getting a big mark up.

      Ditto for itunes, Amazon and all the other goniffs!
