welcome90us/welcome10us

Found these coupons over at the Mobileread forums.

Coupon codes "welcome90us" and "welcome90ca" (without the quotes) each give 90% off the price of a single ebook.

Coupon codes "welcome10us" and "welcome10ca" (without the quotes) each give $10 off the price of a single ebook.

These codes can be used on any "non-agency" books (generally able to be identified by having both a "List price" and "Our price", rather that just a "Price").

Not sure of expiration date, but they have been working for at least 4 days.

EDIT: Extra coupon codes (all one-time use only):

Coupon codes "welcome75us" and "welcome75ca" (without the quotes) each give 75% off the price of a single ebook.

Coupon codes "welcome5us" and "welcome5ca" (without the quotes) each give $5 off the price of a single ebook.

    hmm. Seems like the code can only be applied once per account. I used welcome90us and decided to get another book but the code wasn't valid anymore. So i tried welcome90ca and it worked! So fill your basket up to the brim cause you can only take 2 trips. ;)

    Hmmm DRM ePub? Is it possible to get this onto a Kindle?

    • King Tightarse on 25/04/2012 - 21:42

      Not sure but the Windows program Calibre is excellent at transferring formats.

    • bahoogas on 25/04/2012 - 21:44

      Once you purchase the book you can download it from the website by logging in to your account. This will give a .acsm file that you can open/download with adobe digital editions. You can then use calibre to remove the drm, convert it to mobi to put on your kindle. Sounds bit complec but it isnt too hard

      • melmac77 on 25/04/2012 - 21:58

        You will also need to have tools installed for calibre to remove DRM

      • kheob on 25/04/2012 - 22:12

        Awesome, thanks!

    Good one downloaded the Android Kobo app then grabbed a $17.95 book I have been wanting for $1.80

  • melmac77 on 25/04/2012 - 21:28

    These were listed in the previous bargain earlier this week http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/67878
    Note there is also the codes
    Welcome75ca and Welcome75us for 75% off and welcome50us, welcome50ca for 50% and welcome5us and welcome5ca for $5 off all one use only all off non agency books only and may expire at any time

    Searching for bundles to use them on gives you the best bang for buck.

    Also note that the $5 and $10 ones can only be used on books that are over $5 and $10

  • sev snape on 25/04/2012 - 21:36

    They have some textbooks, and cookbooks too. Nice

    Please put eBooks in the title. I was excited until I realised it was an eBook site

  • melmac77 on 25/04/2012 - 21:44

    You could apply them to the Hunger games trilogy, Jo Nesbo Trilogy, Lisa Jackson Bundle. Some books by popular authors that have some non agency titles are James Patterson, Michael Connelly, Donna Leon,Diana Gabaldon, Karin Slaughter, Grisham, Robert Harris, Lincoln Child, Kathy Reichs

  • cungchaynao on 25/04/2012 - 21:48

    Thank you so much, I just bought 4 books from the store, 3 of them are bundles lol

  • fmckenzie on 25/04/2012 - 21:54

    Thanks, nice. Grabbed a couple

  • voteoften on 25/04/2012 - 21:57

    When I add a book to the cart, I get taken to the checkout. If I go back and add another book, the first one is removed.

    Can you only buy one book at a time with Kobo?

    Thanks!!!!!

        Thanks. Someone above had advised to load up and that was what I had hoped to do. Now I actually have to think about it.

  • aimon on 25/04/2012 - 22:01

    I keep on getting that the publisher doesn't allow promo codes :(

      As per the OP pick books that have 2 prices listed List Price/Our Price also books with pricing not ending in 99c are often non agency.

  • carpecrash on 25/04/2012 - 22:01

    amazing deal. i just tried to find a book and it's only available in the US. Is there any way of buying this book, even though im using an Australian credit card? For interest, it was this book i was wanting to buy….http://www.kobobooks.com/ebook/The-Art-Non-Conformity-Set/book-gy9QUwRvfUCDeHlAAlsKLQ/page1.html

      If you have (a) a second email address, and (b) access to a US proxy, you can set up an account on the US site. (The URL is the same, but which "store" you see depends on your geographic location.)

      Interestingly, it appears that it is only necessary to use the proxy when setting up the account. When you next visit the site, although the Australian store initially appears, once you sign in with the US account details the prices / books will change to those from the US store.

      An Australian credit card can be used on the US store (as can Paypal).

      • carpecrash on 25/04/2012 - 22:09

        YOU ARE THE BEST WOMAN/MAN EVER. I do have access to a US proxy and i'll let everyone know how i go. Thank you.

          That would probably be best LAWMAN ever.

      • melmac77 on 25/04/2012 - 22:13

        Good to know I had thought it would be harder that that I may be tempted to give it a go next time round Thanks. Also note if you do manage to use a US account I'm pretty sure the Song of Fire and Ice trilogy is non agency in that region value would be good if you apply the coupon.
        Come to think of it you would get double the coupons if you ran and account in each region.win!

      • carpecrash on 25/04/2012 - 22:17

        Damn! It didn't work. I created a new account using a US proxy (i know this works cos i pay for it), and that same book isn't available…are you able to view this link in your web browser with your US Kobo account? http://www.kobobooks.com/ebook/The-Art-Non-Conformity-Set/bo…

          It could be that it's available in one of the other regions Kobo run several for example it could be in the UK store but not US or Aust.

          I helped you to look into the link using US-proxy and managed to enter the link, but it is restricted from using coupon code. You need to pay full $12 something

          "Due to publisher restrictions Promo codes are not allowed for this product."

  • Filament on 25/04/2012 - 22:14

    Wow - great find. Thanks OP!

  • aimon on 25/04/2012 - 22:23

    purchased 4 or 5 books i been hanging for already. Wait till i get home :)

  • voteoften on 25/04/2012 - 22:26

    HI,
    Can the peeps that bought bundles tell us what you bought. I used one 90% code for the hunger games trilogy and want to make good use of my other 90% code.

    • melmac77 on 25/04/2012 - 22:42

      One set that was mentioned over at mobilereads was by Ted Dekker got no idea what its like

    FYI you can also purchase a lot of textbooks. I just purchased a £90 textbook for my wife for £9. Glad i didn't have to shell out full price.

    • voteoften on 25/04/2012 - 23:21

      Great! Is she allowed to use it in that format?

      I just got back from Asia and I had a Lonely Planet Guidebook on my kindle and it was pretty difficult to use.

  • urandack on 25/04/2012 - 23:26

    Sweet, $148 textbook for $14.80. :-)

    • lou knee on 26/04/2012 - 09:36

      I was hoping to get a textbook that was that price too but I was too slow. Perhaps it was the same textbook? Harrison's?

  • jonafern on 25/04/2012 - 23:28

    If I buy a book from the kobo site I should be able to run it on my Sony eReader right? It said something about DRM and I'm not really sure how that works with ereaders. Thanks.

  • SuperTight on 26/04/2012 - 01:55

    thanks i bought Water for Elephants and Shiver

    Trying to apply a promo code but it's saying "This promotion is not active" for all of them. Is it actually over? :(

  • Bappy on 26/04/2012 - 07:59

    I'm doing something wrong. None of the codes are not working for me

    I have picked a $10.70 book - tired the $10 off or 90% off code - no luck

    Can anybody please help?

  • lou knee on 26/04/2012 - 08:17

    Aww, I was wanting to buy a textbook but the stoopid site won't let me sign into my account :(

    • lou knee on 26/04/2012 - 09:34

      And now I'm too slow. No more codes :'(

  • melmac77 on 26/04/2012 - 09:42

    Yep I'm hearing reports all over the place that they have ended so we should mark this as expired there are some 40% codes listed in the other original thread.

  • WillKillfor5Cents on 26/04/2012 - 09:49

    Great… whoever created this put down that the code would expire on the 27/04, so I thought I could delay purchasing the ebook I wanted to tonight.
