Here's your current "NOTE 1" in the OP:

NOTE 1: You do have to make sure that you are buying a non-agency book. Agency books generally have only one price listed. If a book has two prices, it is not subject to Agency price fixing and will usually/always work with coupons.
Here's a suggested revision:

If a book has two prices, it is not subject to Agency price fixing and will usually/always work with coupons. E-books with only one price, that nonetheless are non-agency and will therefore work with discount codes, include most graphic novels, most "Just for Kobo Vox" e-books, most very inexpensive books (ie. $0.95 to $2.99), and any books by very small/niche publishers.
A bit wordier, but worth noting IMO. Some of the graphic novels with just one price are rather expensive, too. "The Darkness Compendium" is $29.99, but I bought it with a 35% off code (saving me over $10). Not chump change, and many people wouldn't even think to try as only one price is listed for that e-book. Ditto with some of the more expensive Just for Kobo Vox e-books that aren't graphic novels, many list only one price, some are quite expensive, but almost all are from smaller, non-agency publishers. I have yet to see a $2.99 e-book from an agency publisher on Kobo, and those cheaper e-books are a great opportunity to use some of the smaller codes (10% off, 20% off, $1 off, etc.), letting you save the 25-40% off codes for more expensive e-books.

If you use the $1 off code to buy a $0.95 e-book, BTW, Kobo does not pay you five cents to take it, in case you were wondering.
