I've noticed lately that I'd have to do better than a 45% code just to bring the Kobo price into line with Amazon on some of my wishlist books, and this was before the contest.

As yet, I've got no higher than a 35% code, so that's the end of that.

I have two thoughts; that Kobo isn't willing to lose money on coupon sales any more and that they assume (I think justifiably) that people buy either epubs or Kindle format and that they're not interchangeable.
