I dont understand the logic between who gets the old or new checkouts. My friend and I live 15 minutes apart but I get the new checkout and she still gets the old one. So its not necessarily decided by country.

I'm pretty sure I've bought ebooks from Penguin with some codes.

Thank you. In that case the Netherlands has had the new checkout for quite a while now. And as far as life's essential skills go: it's just one of quite a few that I haven't mastered yet. Anyway, I've done the migration-trick and moved to India. And lo and behold, it worked! Not only was the code accepted, but the price of the book was half of what it is in Holland. Are there people around here who as a matter of course buy their books in India? Or at least shop around? Are there any disadvantages?

I haven't read any complaints about prices, ebook availability or code usage in India, but I've heard plenty of self-congrats about buying there
Do remember to compare between sites, because sometimes you may find Hong Kong or Mexico etc cheaper. |

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for karma (I don't have time to reply to each individual profile) and I'm glad you made use of the coupons.

"Use code anniversary14 at checkout on your next visit and get 20% off your next great read" Gotta love em for trying! |
