That 90% off Kobo code seems to have got a lot of us.

I just got eight books (all had been on my wishlist for some time) and now I'm not even sure whether to count seven of them as bought or free, since Kobo credited me back nearly $7 recently (for a 2012 purchase where a third of the content turned out to be missing) and between the 90% off and the store credit, seven of the eight books ended up costing me $0.00...

I might just put them down as free, I suppose, since, well, at a stretch, you could say I paid that money back in 2012, and I really can't find a way to mark that down in a sensible way in my spreadsheet!

ETA: Never mind. Found that a whole lot more books from my various wishlists (Amazon and Goodreads) do work, and, well, I think I'll definitely need to stick to just the books I'll want immediately for the rest of the year! But that 90% off code was really far too good to let it go to waste, especially with my long wishlists...

The final one was $0.65. And then I stopped, as all the other books I'd have wanted were not couponable in any new check-out country that allows PayPal. Possibly a good thing, all things considered.
