Huh. Wish I'd waited a bit before picking up the 2 frontlist titles I'd bought earlier, since I had problems with my account that left it locked since creation (now mostly resolved) and I still haven't downloaded any of my books.

Sometimes for heavily reduced prices customers think the code is not working, but it's discount has just already been exceeded.

In the case of the 2 frontlist titles I referred to earlier, they only had a 25% off discount when I bought them, and the signup coupon would simply not work and give the new user 30% off discount price off of the list instead of the then-standard 25% promotion, which was a bit disappointing, since they were somewhat pricey in relation to the other books I bought from the same publisher.
So it's not a case of the 40% trumping the coupon, because the discount for those 2 books was never that high to begin with.
Also, I was referring not to the new user signup coupon, but some sort of additionally sporadically offered bonus discount that sometimes intermittently shows up in the cart upon checkout.
Thanks for taking the time to reply to people's questions and comments, and also for holding the sale.
