I think Kobo is trying to set up the $5 off for a new member promo in Aus. When I opened kobobooks.com this morning I saw the $5 new member promo blurb, which appears in a pop up box type of screen. But when I clicked on 'find out more' it went to a part page that didn't have any info on the promo.
So, I exited out of Kobo and came back in, but the pop up box didn't come up. Nor the third or fourth times I tried it.
Perhaps they're also doing this promo in NZ?
I wasn't logged in at the time.
On another note, the Contest is likely to start today or very soonish, eh. Let's hope they include Aus and NZ.
EDIT
Okay, I was searching for an author on the Aus site, still not logged in, and the $5 off new account promo dialogue info and link shows up. (See photo.)
Note it's up the top of the screen.
Here's the link to the Aus promo:
