The problem is that which collections/bundles are couponable, by which publisher, with which coupon, and in which Kobo store(s) varies all the time. So a link is not nearly as helpful as an ISBN for the specialized purpose of this thread, which was to share bundles which could be used with high-value Kobo coupons - assuming, of course, we ever get any more of them . And with Kobo's terrible search engine, it can be hard to find a specific collection/bundle/publisher without the ISBN.

For example, the most recent Kobo contest codes have only been good in US, UK and Canada, so a link to a collection/bundle in the Kobo India store wouldn't help nearly as much as the ISBN, which lets me quickly see if the same collection/bundle is available and couponable in the US, UK or Canada. I suppose I can always open the Kobo India link and then get the ISBN for myself, but why take the extra step if the ISBN does the trick.

So, although I don't mind if folks post links, I really hope folks don't stop posting ISBN's.

Having a link would also be helpful.
