Just a heads up, some users are finding themselves opted in for Quick Buy on Kobo's website, which skips the screen that gives you the option to add a promo code. Link to the thread about this in the Kobo subforum. You can opt out in your account settings.

Quite angered to see that yes, you can opt out, but they want confirmation of full name and birthdate to do it! WTH? As I posted in that original thread, if it weren't for the occasional 'coupon code' I'd just give all my business to Amazon or even Sony. I'm starting to lose my patience with Kobobooks all together! |

Re: Kobo Quick Buy
If you uncheck the box in the Quick Buy pop-up, you will be opted out without having to provide any details. This is what I did. I wasn't certain if it would change the account settings so immediately after unchecking the pop-up box I checked my account and it had indeed changed my purchase option to no Quick Buy. I played around a bit - logged out and in, etc. - to make sure my choice was permanent and it was. |

So, it's like one click on Amazon, I guess.

I don't know, but I do know that I don't want my settings to change without my consent, and then to feel forced to provide more personal information was just another thing that added "insult to injury" if you will. If Amazon did this, I'd be unhappy as well. The difference was when I set up my Amazon account it was my choice to turn on 1click buy or not. *shrugs* JMHO

Also got this in email: "Get these ebooks on film. All just $4.99 - today ONLY!" List link: http://www.kobobooks.com/lists/filmp...9booksonfilmCA "Tinker Tailor" showed over $17 at Amazon, couple others seemed same price, didn't check them all. Likely Canada code only by 'CA' at end of link. Last edited by Blue2u; 10-19-2012 at 12:20 PM. Reason: clarification |

Can you buy more than one book with this code?
Can you buy more than one book with this code (90BK)? I have never been able to buy more than one book at a time on KOBO. Thanks for any help.

Although some people have found that some codes 'reset' after a certain amount of time. |
