These Kobo Touch eReaders are on sale for just $119 each (regular price is $139).  If you buy 2 of them, the price for each becomes just $114, which is $25 off the regular price.  I did some price comparison to make sure that this sale is a great price. Remember just because something is on sale does not make it a great price!  I found the same eReader at Best Buy for $139.99, I found it at Staples for $139, and I also found it at Walmart for $129.99.  I could not find it less expensive than the sale at Chapters.

Here is a customer review of the Kobo Touch eReader:

I got my eReader for a Xmas present this year and I absolutely love it. I’ve read more books since I got this ereader than I have in a couple of years. AND I’m still reading books from the free library. I haven’t bought any books for it yet cause the selection is great.

The great thing about this deal is that if you know someone else that is looking for an eReader you can get 2 and save even more.  Or maybe you and your spouse like to read a lot and would each use one.

So many people nowadays are switching over from books to eReader devices for their convenience.   This Kobo touch has some great features too.  You can adjust font size and type, it has bookmarks to save your location, 6 inch screen with built in wifi and the screen is so sensitive that you can use a glove with it.

Here is a customer review for the Kobo Touch:

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I bought this back in August, but I absolutely love it! The screen is so crystal clear it is like reading a book. I bought an ebook version of a textbook for school and this was perfect! I was able to highlight important things and go back to whatever page/chapter I needed to. I can’t get over how much I do love my Kobo

The deal that Chapters Canada is having is a really good offer.  I checked the price of the same Kobo touch at various stores and the best price was Chapters with this sale.  I found it at Staples for $139, at The Source for $139.99 and at Walmart for $129.99.  In fact out of about 6 stores I looked at, Chapters having it on sale for just $119 was the best price.

(Expires: 25th January 2012)

It’s got 8GB of storage, or enough room for 8000 ebooks. You can buy an SD memory card up to 32GB if you need more storage.

A friend of mine got one as soon as they came out and she has nothing but good things to say about it, as does this reviewer

I purchased the VOX for my wife, and am pleasantly surprised at the capabilities of the unit. She enjoys the colour touch screen and the freedom it gives her to interact on Facebook, read a book and read her on-line magazines.

It’s a great “do it all” device – perfect if you want to do more than just read. If you are wanting a tablet and an ereader, this is a great idea!

The Kobo Vox will ship for free.

Chapters Canada is selling the hardcover Pride & Prejudice & Zombies for a really amazing price! Pay only $4.74 – originally $14.95. You are saving 67%.

• Enjoy this innovative expansion of Jane Austin’s Novel

There aren’t any reviews on Chapters, despite this book being a top 50 bargain book. I checked this book out on Amazon.ca where the softcover is priced at $10.79, Chapter’s price is over 50% off Amazon’s price! There are several reviews on Amazon.ca that range from 1 star to 5 star. I do like this one though:

I was excited about this book as soon as I heard the title and I couldn’t wait to read it. Really, how can anything with zombies AND ninjas in it be bad? I knew as soon as I read the first line (a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains) that I was in for a treat. I was not dissappointed. This book had me laughing so hard I decided it wouldn’t be safe to read at work. I expect most people that are going to read this have already read the original Pride and Prejudice (which I love and have read many times). Part of the appeal of this book is seeing familiar lines blanketed by zombie – err “unmentionable” – action….

Have any of our Moosers actually read this book?

I love this cooking show: Chef at Home, and the chef Michael Smith is brilliant. Right now you can get 34% off his cookbook, The Best of Chef at Home: Essential Recipes for Today’s Kitchen. Currently it is only $18.77, originally $29.95.

• Buy The Best of Chef at Home for your home

This book is brilliant, a cookbook that is easy to use and encourages variations – I love that! This book has 75 ratings with a perfect 5/5 stars overall.

I love this review:

This is a great cookbook, with so many recipes that you will actually use, more than your average book. For the longest time, I’d record all the Chef at Home episodes, and now I have all the favorites collected in this book. I would definitly recommend this book to any kind of cook, beginner to pro, as the ingredients arent impossible to find, the recipes are easy to follow, and the food turns out great. Most of all, what Ive found with Michael Smith is that you start to make the connections in the kitchen with flavours that go together and how the foods all connect, allowing you to really become a true cook. Love it!

It is really funny, I currently record all his Chef at Home rerun episodes on the Food Network because we got it for a couple months as a sample, and I am certainly taking advantage. I am going to be buying this book because after flipping through at in store at Chapters (and at full price) I saw so many recipes I would actually use!

The last show I watched of his he was talking about encrusting your french toast: once it is all egg/milk dipped – roll it in something! I did that yesterday for the hubby and I, and the picture above is of the hubby’s oatmeal encrusted french toast.

I love this bag!! Bought it yesterday, and I just know I’m going to use it everyday! Tough enough for my lunch and other everyday things and fits perfectly on the shoulder while ridding the bus  Plus, I got it on sale at 50% off YAY!

• Get The Hunger Games Trilogy

I have never read the series so I really can’t say much about it, but it has a TON of positive reviews, just read a few from Chapters:

Wow! Is all I have to say about the Hunger Games series of books! What fun and exciting storylines and the characters are fantastic! I reccomend to everyone!

I didn’t have any expectations when I bought this series but while I was reading it, I just fall in love with the story and the caracters. It’s well written, the plot is good and it’s not just a romance or war, it includes both so it’s not a chick book!!!

This set is gorgeous !! If you love the books it is totally worth owning.

Just think of this under the christmas tree with a special someone’s name on it!

Have you red the series? what did you think?
