It is a link to the Kobo site with a coupon code to get the entire Trilogy for under $3.
awesome! Thanks!
I just got it myself (after I just purchased the first book in the series from Google Books for only $5, sigh). Just to let you know, I had trouble with the link that WhiteGinger provided connecting to Kobo, until I noticed there is an extra HT at the beginning of the HTTP: string for the website address. I deleted the first two letters, and it worked like magic from there forward. Yea, all three books for $2.70, and I thought I got a deal when I purchased one for $5.

YOU got ripped off! I bought the trilogy several weeks ago at only 35% or 40% off. Then K came out with all these 75% and 90% deals. BTW--Booksontheknob posts all the current K coupons (right side, about midway down). I have exhausted my non-agency wish list.
Sorry the link was messed up. I never thought to check it. 
A big thank-you to Karen at Books on the Knob for her hard work. (I know she checks in with the B&N boards, too.)

Hey Whiteginger, for me I owe you a big thanks! There are so many places to go check that I have gotten burned out on checking what the newest greatest deal is. By you kindly letting us know about the great deal I am now the happy owner of the entire Hunger Games Trilogy (granted I have two copies of the first book, but this how it goes). A big thank you to you for the post!

That was a great deal too! The trilogy was a lot cheaper before it was a hit. Same as Amanda Hockings books. I picked up her both of her series for free or a couple bucks each before she was picked up by a publisher. Now each book is running about 8.99.
We do have the daily find which is usually a steep discount. Variety of genre/categories every day, which I think is a good thing because I couldn't afford it if I wanted all of them.
There a lot of freebies that are not classics, but are current ebooks. Once the Agency model went into effect, their titles were no longer free and that forced me to start looking at Indie authors and non Agency authors and publishers. A lot of them are very good (that's how I found Amanda Hocking). Almost all of them offer at least one of their ebooks for free to introduce you to their writing. After that, you'll have to buy the rest, but the prices tend to be $.99 to $3.99 a book. I have no problem picking up their free ebooks. If I don't like it, I'm not out any money and if it bothers me to even own it, I delete it. It only takes a few pages for me to tell if it's readable or not and my time isn't THAT precious that I can't waste 10 or 15 min deciding if I like an ebook or not. Sometimes I find a GREAT series that I love and have to buy the rest of their ebooks. And happily, they are almost always affordable!!
But I do miss the ability to use coupons/codes for purchases that I want. Kobo doesn't have the selection that B&N has, but they do have discount codes for non-agency ebooks. I picked up several of the non agency ebooks on my wish list there this past week using their discount codes.
My big frustration is that often A will offer new ebooks (non-agency) free for the first day. After that, they are only free to Prime Members. And B&N hasn't even gotten the ebook yet. I have several series in which the first ebook was picked up at A for free, but I purchased the rest of the series here at B&N.
