Credit Sale for Cyber Monday!
-
@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

@strangeattractor Sam mentioned various reasons for no sale this year. The most likely reason is that they gave the premium credits to an intern in Japan to mail to JNC headquarters and they got hit by Truck-kun. Now that they and the credits are stuck in another world (physical premium credits sure are weird) it's troublesome getting them back (and the intern too). I'm guessing the gods of the other world use premium credits to fund the granting of skills and abilities. The intern is probably using it to order take out from this world because you can only eat rabbit or orc meat for so long before you miss modern Japanese cuisine. So the God of this world (Kadokawa) is probably working with Sam to get those credits spent while the gods of the other world are working to hoard the credits so they can use it for their own ends. It seems they got enough credits to secure our monthly premium credit lot, but not enough for the sale.
That's why it was promised we would have sales in the future. Eventually most of the credits would be spent and come back to this world. Probably.

Didn't some else mention intern-kun accidentally got the "costs 2x skill" and is burning through premium credits every time he visits the cow-girl brothel? At least intern-kun hasn't worked up the courage to visit the loli brothel yet.
-
Well, I was a bit sad to see no premium credit sale this year - but the tangent the thread went on about where the credits went was worth the visit!
-
@sam-pinansky That is disappointing :( At least my credit limit I guess gets to be happy.
