They did some of them, but I've developed this pathological aversion to paying for the mobi format's many annoying deficiencies and since I also don't care for certain of Amazon's business practices I've gotten into the habit of not buying e-books at Amazon if they're available elsewhere at the same price (and I overwhelmingly pass on the sale promos if they aren't, regardless).

Besides, even at 25 cents I didn't really want most of those books, although it might have been nice to have one or two (though reading the sample for the title by Johann Sfar or whatever his name is was an active turn-off). The library has those if I ever really want to read them.

Anyway, temptation removed since it seems that Kobo has tweaked things so that the coupons stop working after the first you buy and you can no longer get the entire Hunger Games trilogy for ~$4 CAD in total. The library has these as well and I can put that money towards something else I like more which I won't be getting to for a long time, either.
