Well, admittedly sometimes they seem to skip days, but in this case, I think the problem may have been on your end.

I went back through the last week of your blog and then ran a search, and you're definitely missing some Kobo US daily deals that showed up in the interim (I remember one of them distinctively, because it had been a US-only sale book that I'd previously bought on the last day the coupon contest codes were working and I was surprised the $2.99 hadn't ended when the holiday sales did (now back up to full price when I check)).

Generally, Kobo Canada seems to pick an already-sale-priced book to feature that's usually also available in the US. But from time to time, they do pick something that's technically on sale, then give it an extra $2-3 discount just for that day, which Amazon/Google/iTunes usually also match, just until Kobo's extra price-drop is over. So it can end up being tricky to judge the "real" sale price.
