One of our Moosers Elizabeth mentioned on our last coupon:

I used to love these coupon codes, now I just get frustrated because 90% of the books I want have publisher restrictions against the discount.

Do a lot of Moosers find this the case? I personally have found it an excuse to explore new series’ from different publishers that allow the use of the coupon: with pretty good results. How has your book finding been?

Another nice coupon code from Kobobooks: this time get 25% off one book.

I had totally given up my own personal reading for the last while, due to way too many textbooks to read and not enough time! Recently I was given the opportunity to get a free book and review it for a blog I follow called Steampunk Scholar. Sometime over the next few months I will be reading: The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: The Whitechapel Horrors and reviewing it. It is only $5.92 after coupon.

About the book:

Grotesque murders are being committed on the streets of Whitechapel. Sherlock Holmes comes to believe they are the skilful work of one man, a man who earns the gruesome epithet of Jack the Ripper. As the investigation proceeds, Holmes realizes that the true identity of the Ripper puts much more at stake than just catching a killer…

Why don’t you read along?

Great timing for another Kobobooks Canada coupon, as their previous one just expired on the 20th. This coupon offers you 20% off the book of your choice (exclusions apply).

Have you ever gifted an ebook? I have noticed this “send this book as an e-gift” and thought about doing it, as long as I know the person has a way to read the book. I have a comparative literature professor I think is fabulous, and this will be my last semester learning from him – so I was thinking of gifting him a few books: maybe even Steampunk: Poe.

On the heels of their previous coupon code expiring, Kobobooks Canada has another coupon code, this time for 25% off.

So what is on your reading list? I have seen so many books floating around campus lately: The Hunger Games are really popular, and I still see Room by Emma Donoghue hanging around. I have never read it, but it was extremely popular when it came out.

What book have you read recently that you would recommend?

I’m not sure where this author came from, but look out! Her characters are in your FACE–funny and scary–with an emotional swirl in the background that makes it hard to breathe. The premise, which is almost beside the point, is that Matthew King’s wife is in a coma. And he has to rise up to the occasion, and be a parent in a way he never was before. You realize, along with him, that these wild, angry girls never really had a parent of any kind.

Another coupon from Kobobooks, this time for 25% off a book of your choice, one use only of course.

My comparative literature teacher, who writes a blog called Steampunk Scholar, and I recently had a conversation regarding the availability of books we want to read as ebooks. I want to read the Vampire Empire series however the first book is available in german via Kobobooks (so have a blast if you read german!), but neither the 1st nor the 2nd is available in english. His reply was this:

I find the availability of ebooks somewhat frustrating. I understand the why of it: it’s all about contractual obligations and licensing, but it’s still somewhat maddening. There’s a book by a Canadian author that is available as an ebook from Kindle in the States, but not in Canada. Go figure! Avigayil, I endorse both Vampire Empire books!

Anyone else have this problem?

What new book are you looking for? I have been rather interested in vintage lately, because I know little about it and it seems to be a really promising area to explore if you can find a good tailor. You get really fantastic clothing with good fabric and excellent construction – and then you bring it to life. I recently got the book Virtual Vintage: The Insider’s Guide to Buying and Selling Fashion Online and hope to get to it one of these days!

What is on your reading list this holiday season? I have so many books to finish that I ‘just’ started! No More Dirty Looks is on the top of my reading list, along with To Hell in High Heels, and Marvel’s Runaways.

Exclusions:

In CA – Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins, Macmillan, Penguin, Simon & Schuster, Wiley, and Zondervan, and all respective subsidiary imprints.

On Kobo’s website it says the 30% off coupon is for a select list of books (about 200) but I applied it to books not on that list and it worked.

Steven and Lina, the authors of GroceryAlerts, dropped me a line about an eBook they’ve penned. I rarely post this kind of thing on Bargainmoose, but they’ve done a lot of hard work and come up with a good resource for Canadians. The eBook details a lot of the freebies you can get on your birthday.

• Click here to get the free stuff eBook

These offers are the kind of thing you’ll see here on Bargainmoose tagged with birthday, but Steve and Lina have gone into a lot of detail, covering various categories and digging into deals for various provinces. Some of the nation-wide examples:

• Old Navy Canada – Free gift on your birthday
• Booster Juice Canada – Free 24oz smoothie on your birthday
• Marble Slab Canada – Free ice cream on your birthday
• The Body Shop Canada - Free $10 gift voucher on your birthday

Some of the restaurant and dining offer tend to be BOGO (buy one get one) or a free gift with purchase. But that’s all clearly explained in the eBook. A lot of them are totally free, like the 4 deals I mentioned above.

I just used this gorgeous coupon to get a book I have been wanting: No More Dirty Looks. It is a very revealing look at the beauty industry and the regulations (or lack there of – really) keeping our beauty products safe. I know, I have funny tastes in my relaxation reading material! Anyway, I got it for a fabulous price: $7.12 (including GST), saving $2.91 with this coupon.

Discount code is valid for one time 20% off any eBook purchase excluding those from the following publishers: In CA – Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins, Macmillan, Penguin, Simon & Schuster, Wiley, and Zondervan, and all respective subsidiary imprints.  Newspapers and magazines are excluded from this offer.

My friend was so excited to get the new Kobo Vox yesterday. It looks like a nice ereader, love that it’s in colour and I think the fact that you can browse the web, do email and Facebook on it makes it so useful, especially if you don’t have an iPad or other tablet.

I’d say that my next ebook will be Half-Blood Blues by Giller winner Esi Edugyan. It’s priced at $14.99 or $11.99 after coupon.

Here is another 20% off coupon code for Kobobooks. As I have mentioned before, this is the better coupon ($1 coupon vs. 20% off coupon) if your book costs above $5, which most books do these days.

I read an article somewhere that was talking about the market distribution of eReaders and if memory serves Kindle has the largest share. I was wondering how that distribution would look if you only took Canada into consideration. Because Chapters (and thus the Kobo) is not in the US of A the market down there is remarkably different. However, I wonder what our percentage looks like for owners of readers here. What do you think? I was thinking around 50% Kobo, 30% Kindle and 20% other.. but that is our speculation.

Another one of those coupons from Kobobooks to expand your reading repertoire! You can get 20% off a book from Kobo for the next few days (excluding select publishers).
