I also did not buy a single book with the contest codes. The highest I received was 45% and I gave all 3 of those away as the books on my wishlist are all quite expensive and I'd need higher than that to buy them.
I have bought twice from the Japanese store using the 1stkobo code, which meant one book cost me 83c and the other book was free.
I would love to be privvy to Kobo's sales figures, especially to see what effect the contest has had.
Those of us that post on this forum represent only a small portion of Kobo's customer base, the vast majority of their customers probably dont even know about the contest or dont play it. We here have had the mixed blessing of higher coupon codes and have come to expect them, but the general public are probably very happy to have 25% off.
