All it would have taken would have been a mention that it was on select books in the body of the e-mail to avoid confusion. Fortunately "Matterhorn" looks interesting so all wasn't lost.

I tried to use my code with one of the available books, Matterhorn in fact, and got the response that it had already been redeemed. This was perfectly fair because I posted it to share before it occurred to me that it might have been intended for my use only. The email certainly did not specify this and I expected that other Kobo owners would soon receive the same email.
I agree that it would have been preferable to be able to choose any book and I wouldn't have needed to ask for recommendations had this been the case.
Thanks to yhamm, I did get a free recommended ebook today anyway, just not from Kobo!
