Mail the publisher instead.  |
No, I won't mail the publisher. I don't have anything to do with them, I only deal with the store. Sure, I would have understood if the promo code would not work for books that are on sale. I can understand that the promo code only works up to a certain amount. It's normal with most stores that promotions don't stack and that you can't buy unlimited amounts. (If I could get a 30% promo code to stack on top of a 50% sale, then I'd probably buy my entire to-read list at once.)
However, if the e-mail claims in big black letters that there will be no territorial restriction frustrations, then that's the ONE thing I DON'T expect to encounter, and if I do, I'll complain about it.

Heck they just started offering the pdfs of their Dungeons & Dragons game books again in the last few months, and much of their pricing is way too high. Heck, some of the books I bought back in high school twenty years ago in paper for $15 are now available as pdfs for $9.99!

PDF's for $9.99, about Second Edition AD&D? That's a great price, IMHO. All of those books are out of print and many of them are now collector's items. However, some people just want to have those books to play AD&D 2nd Edition, and not to collect.
$5.59 and even $6.15 is a lot cheaper than Kobo's €6.04 (and they already say that you "save" €1.45). FeedBooks almost maches the $5.59 price, asking €4.61.
I think those are OK prices compared to the paperbacks, which cost €7.95 in the Netherlands.
Assume that I manage to buy some FR books from Feedbooks for €4.61 ($5.98 vs. Diesel's normal $5.13 price). Maybe I'll even outright ask them:
"Why can I buy $BOOK at FeedBooks, but not at your store?"
I wonder what the reaction would be...
