Keep in mind that many of these codes can be multiplied into 5 codes by switching the country codes around between CA, US, UK, AU, and ROW.
The above ignores codes for specific publishers, or specific series of books, most notably the Kobo Book Club codes (for a free book from a selection each month) and the legendary 85% off the Hunger Games codes everyone was talking about earlier.
So I respectfully disagree with your assessment. I keep track of my Kobo discount codes here:
