Actually, it seems that it started on March 25th, but yesterday, several media outlets covered DMM Books' "70% off coupon distribution campaign." In commemoration of the change in the name of "DMM e-books" to "DMM Books", users who purchase for the first time will be given a coupon that allows them to purchase up to 100 books at 70% off.
The name of the DMM e-book has changed to "DMM Books"📚

I also jumped on the bandwagon and used the service and coupons, and found them to be very affordable and convenient.
First, when I checked the campaign page, "All works are eligible for coupons!" doing. Even if you buy all 23 volumes of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba", it's usually 10,127 yen (tax included), but at 3,026 yen (tax included), it's a great deal, so it's a campaign that recommends buying in bulk.

You can get a coupon by tapping the "Get a 70% OFF coupon!" button on the campaign page, but be careful here. The expiration date of the coupon is until the first purchase is completed within 7 days after acquisition, so please be careful not to expire those who say "I'm wondering what to do ..." "Choose 100 books and buy!" .
I was at a loss, but I bought a bulk purchase of "Attack on Titan", which currently has 33 volumes published and the final volume will be released in June. Currently, Volumes 1-3 are available for free, and if you buy Volumes 4-33 together, the normal price is 13,860 yen (tax included), but if you apply the coupon, it costs 4,140 yen (tax included)! Even if you buy the final volume in June at the regular price, you can get the whole volume for less than 5,000 yen.
Purchased books can be read from a Windows/Mac browser, the dedicated application "DMM Books App", or the "DMM Books App" distributed for smartphones.
When I recently wrote a review article and bought it because I liked it, I checked if it could be read on the Chromebook "ASUS Chromebook Detachable CM3", and I was able to install the DMM Books app for Android from Google Play. The large 10.5-inch screen allows you to read comfortably. You can of course read by swiping and tapping the screen, but you can also read by clicking on the touch pad, although keyboard operation is not supported.
The back cover can be used as a kickstand, so you can place it vertically on a table at an easy-to-see angle and read it in a large frame.
As an aside, this CM3 has recently been restocked on Amazon, which ran out of stock soon after its release. Until April 8, 2021, you can purchase it for 32,800 yen (tax included) on Amazon using a 18,000 yen discount coupon, which is also a great deal.

The Android version of the DMM Books app has an app called "DMM Books + App" that has additional functions such as a list of free comics and moving from the app to the DMM site.This app is distributed from outside the Google Play store. doing. Since this application can be installed on Amazon's Fire tablet, I installed it on my "Fire HD 8 Plus". This size tablet is perfect for reading while lying on the sofa or bed.

Previously, there was a limit on the number of terminals that can authenticate books, and it seems that there was some inconvenience, but after July 2018, it seems that the number limit has been removed. It's convenient to be able to freely choose a device to read according to the location and situation.
