Initial reports are that it's one time use.

I hope this isn't too off topic. I went to Kobo to buy a book and use the new code. I selected an author then clicked on the "eligible for code" button and the book I wanted was still there. I was so excited because the last time it wasn't eligible. Then I clicked on buy and oh no no no there was no promo code place. I did it twice from the beginning. I finally called Kobo and reported it and the person simulated what I did and agreed that it didn't work. They then gave me some reference number and that was it. So they obviously have some filter problems. Amazon would have sent me an email by now but I got no status report from Kobo. I feel better now.

AnemicOak · 10-16-2013, 06:43 PM

Yeah, the Eligible Items filter has been broken on the Kobo site for a while now. I'm sure if they fix it they'll wind up breaking something else on the site.

Thanks AnemicOak. You saved me wasted minutes of trying it over and over.

So I tried to start Strange Neighbors by Ashlyn Chase last night only to find out the epub I have is horribly formatted! missing italics, missing quotations, broken sentences..... ugh! So I checked my source and I got it from the publisher. I went and re-downloaded it and it has not been fixed.

I feel sorry for anyone who actually bought this!

The Kindle version however is not like this as far as I can tell. I was lucky to grab it from there when it was free. So I thought I give a heads up to anyone who grabbed the epub back in 2011. Check Chapter One if you find the ghost talking is not italics you have the same horrible copy. I deleted mine no need to have a broken book that can't be read properly.

The mobi copies from Kindle and ARE that were freebies seem okay so far.....

There is a huge difference between erotica and smut.

If a book is unavailable I would contact Support. Amazon doesn't remove books from your Archive and if they do they issue a refund.

*phew* thanks. No, the book is still there, I just can't search for it by title or author using Amazon apps.

Ok, I finally found something.... Forsaken Dreams by Mary Tyndall

Embark on a seafaring adventure in a brand-new series from bestselling author MaryLu Tyndall. After witnessing the death and destruction caused by the Civil War, Colonel Blake Wallace is eager to leave his once precious Southern homeland for the pristine shores of Brazil and the prospect of a new utopian community. Widow Eliza Crawford seeks passage on Wallace’s ship harboring a dirty secret—and a blossoming hope for a fresh start. But will dangers from the sea and from man keep them from the peace and love they long for?

Oh and here is RT's Cheaper by the Dozen selections. Several of these titles are part of the Whispersync so you could pick up the book and the audio version as well. I can recommend the Molly Harper and Delilah Marvelle titles.
