In the past, these lists/codes would work on any promo eligible book--but the last list, they meant exactly that list. Sometimes they mean that and sometimes they don't. I believe it has to do with who is paying for the promo--the author/publisher or kobo (or both entities via an agreement of some kind). Kobo does have general coupons (like perkopolis) that work on any promo eligible book. They pay for that discount so far as I know. Some of the lists/promos are paid for by publishers/authors.
The last list they sent out had three lists and there was a different coupon for EACH list and that coupon worked ONCE in the given list and nowhere else. That meant that if book 2 in a series was on sale, unlike some coupons, you couldn't use the coupon on both book 1 AND book 2. Just book two.
This one is already a little less restrictive, but the list of books is smaller. I don't know if the coupons will work outside the lists. You can't tell that until you try the coupon on a "normally promo eligible book" but gradually it seems that these sales stick to the lists only.
