If anyone wondered about the reach that this thread has with respect to the mention of a good special have a look at the results on the Kobo India Top 50 list. Yep, the children's books as mentioned above now number quite a few in that list.

Of course this isn't the first time that a Top 50 list has been influenced by comments here, remember the Kobo India 3c sale earlier this year with books like Nigella Lawson etc etc etc all priced from say 2 to 3 cents up to say 10 or so cents each.

And of course events went viral with the 90% off unlimited code and someone apparently even posted it on Twitter and/or Facebook (idiots!!).

Each to their own views on this point, but I don't want to see a 'how to guide' for tips and tricks attached to the first post in the thread. I'd rather that the info was made available only when someone posts and requests help - the same way that they do now, to MR members who are regular/irregular posters in this thread.

I can't recall a time when a member wasn't helped, so the current system seems to work well. I wouldn't want to spoil it.
