I remember reading (not sure where; maybe Discord?) that it's not gonna happen this year.

Well it would be nice to have confirmation here if it is happening or not, and when if it is. I will drop somewhere between $250-$500 on credits if it is happening. If not then I will pay as I go as normal, but I will probably buy fewer books overall as I won't have a glut of credits to spend on novels I normally wouldn't take a chance on.
-
@blort Yeah my thoughts exactly. There are a series or two that I have read on catch-up that I would buy in their entirety if there's a credit sale but otherwise I will probably just purchase next volume of the few favourites that I have previously bought volumes of.

I saw that on the discord this weekend too.

@blort Honestly, I agree on that point. Being able to purchase a large cache of credits to use as I see fit lifts the mental burden of having to purchase credits each and every time I want purchase something new. I've definitely seen a difference in my behavior in having a credit cache or not. If I don't I have many credits to spare I usually to hoard them only picking up volumes I absolutely love and can't be without. If I have a cache I'm willing to experiment and pick up stuff that seems interesting either because of the story summary or what people were posting on the forums. Because I bought the credits earlier in the year, purchasing the eBook, doesn't have that same mental cost. It's "free" to me, because I'm not pulling money out of my credit card when I click the purchase button in the future.
It also helps me pick up longer running series if I have a cache. As much as I enjoy them, I would have never picked up How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom or Ascendance of a Bookworm as they have so many volumes and would require a lot of credits to catch up with.
I know they aren't probably going to announce anything until actual Black Friday/Cyber Monday cause that is how companies roll, but I really hope they have the sale again this year. I've been thinking of taking the plunge and starting Invaders of the Rokujouma!?, but that is way too many credits to throw at a series if I can't get them at one time.

@morbelek
It's pretty much the same for me. I really only want to get into a longer series if I can get a bunch or all of the volumes at once, unless I got in early. I generally do not buy into a series until it has at least three e-books published. Sometimes there simply isn't the money available to buy in at the ideal time for me, like Wortenia for instance, so it languishes until I can invest in it, and that can mean I don't get into it at all if the stars do not align.Being able to buy a lot of credits at once for a bit of a discount is very helpful for me in getting into new series. While I realize I could read the pre-pubs, I don't like reading small bits at a time, and I only want to read books on my Kobo as that is most comfortable for me. I can't exactly take off my glasses and curl up in my bed with a monitor or an 85" TV. Well I guess I could but it wouldn't be a great experience.

A bulk buy on cyber Mondays with the discount has always helped to offset the conversion rate costs.
I tend to be a lot more picky with purchases with a low level of credits.
We will see what next Monday brings.
Though of course, if GBP became a recognised currency for purchases, I might be happy to....(depending on the defined exchange rate) -
Even just enabling more than 10 per purchase helps.
-
@someoldguy Thankfully we’ve been able to buy up to 20 tokens per purchase for some time now. I believe it’s said 10 tokens at a time up until recently but that was just a visual glitch.
-
Just to confirm, no credit sale for cyber Monday this year for various reasons, some you might be able to guess?
We will have sales in the future though! Promise.

@sam-pinansky
Good to know. -
Ah yes, the discount credits are all stuck on a boat waiting to be unloaded and couldn't be delivered to JNC in time to be sold this year :D
Anyway good to know there will still be sales in the future
-
@legitpancake I stopped at one lot of 20. Should hold out through the end of the year, ass-u-me-ing there isn't another drop of 10 series I'm interested in... Which reminds me, I still have to pre-order some new books, now that I'm stocked up again.
-
@sam-pinansky Well fuck me, I hadn't run out of credits until today after the 100 credits i bought last year. Oh well, guess I'll just take 20, hope they last until your next sale. I doubt with all the fire series you just announced lol.

That must be it! Or perhaps the credits got stuck in the Suez Canal then got sent to another world after being crushed by the avalanche of ensuing fanfiction. 🚢

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone mention the JNC Manga sale going on at ComiXology/Kindle. Tons of volumes discounted and first volumes for only .99
-
@the-green-death Those prices seem to be available only on the ComiXology site. Normal price rules in the Kindle store as of 12 hours ago.
-
@the-green-death I posted about it a couple days ago :P
