I suspect it is a problem somehow related to location. murg, HarleyB and myself are all in Australia.
And I don't think it is cookies. When I first had the problem I tried another computer. Then I tried other browsers. Last edited by davidfor; 02-10-2013 at 05:45 PM. Reason: mmmmm cookies! |

I have also deleted cookies (several times), tried other browsers and also tried my daughter's brand new lap top and my husband's mac.
So far the only thing that works is to stay logged out until I want to confirm a price (due to the prices sometimes changing when I log in), naviagate to a book, click the buy now button and then only sign in when prompted. Then I can either buy the book or if the price jumps up too much I go back and log out to check another book. David are you finding that the prices are changing when you log in? It's not on all books (probably just the ones I really want!!) I wondered if kobo thought I was in the US (where books tend to be cheaper) and so that's why the price increased when I logged in and they discovered I was in Australia? |

For example "The Shifting Fog" by Kate Moreton is $3.99 but when I log in it jumps up to $5.95.

It looks like it is book specific, or maybe publisher. I picked a couple of other books and they all had the same price when logged in or out. The books that had the same price didn't have the list price/discount. |

Aha thanks for explaining the 2 browsers suggestion from PeterT. I didn't understand previously and that does work.
I'm pleased you were able to confirm the changing prices - I really thought I was losing my mind when I would find an absolute bargain but then when I logged in the price was different. It's not on all books which just added to my confusion. One of my theories about the prices is that they are "on special" somewhere in the world because for a few days "The Hobbit" was showing up as $8.99 logged out and $11.99 logged in but now the price stays at $11.99 for both. |

OK so maybe they are NZ prices!
Must say I'm pleased to see that our NZ friends are getting such a good deal. Normally you guys have it even worse than us in Australia. Last edited by HarleyB; 02-10-2013 at 10:14 PM. |
