Also, my wishlist is looking very slim (just over 450 books now on it  ). There are a few non-couponable books at the US store *I'm looking at you, Entangled*. Plus there are still a number of Nora Roberts Penguin Intermix old category books I'd like to buy which are now out. But for the first time since I created my "Wanted in Digital" list more than 75% have a "Not Yet Released" notation (by which I mean older books which have not yet been released digitally not new books that haven't come out yet). I need to find some new authors so keep your buy reports coming. I often check out the authors' websites and add stuff to my wishlist.
I don't mean to sound as if I am complaining, but I am exhausted. I spent hours looking and organized all of the books by price so I wouldn't use my biggest code on the least expensive book (which is one of the reasons I waited until the end of the contest this time as I have done that before. Oops!) And I don't regret using all of the 30% and less coupons last year and this year or buying agency priced books by favorite authors, but man I could have saved mucho $ if I'd waited. Oh well, such is the life of a book addict
The only bad part of waiting til the end to spree buy is that Kobo locked me out early this AM after purchasing 10 books. I was able to buy 10 more books this afternoon, but got the "unexpected error" on book 11 again. Called my bank they said it's not my card (I got the same error earlier in the week and it was my card, so I wanted to be sure). I tried again after an hour, but I guess that's not long enough of a wait time
I have two other codes I was saving until tomorrow to buy some new Carina books, so I'll see if I can purchase some more after midnight. Has this happened to anyone else?

I noticed the reverted Kobo website too, strange!? I hear you on being tired, I spent tons of time yesterday going through my purchase/want list, hours to be honest so I completely understand. Although I admit I didn't have any trouble purchasing thru Kobo, maybe they knew I was spending so much in their store they didn't want to stop me.
