More of the good news/bad news type is that I will definitely be buying fewer books now that Kobo has eliminated the contests and presumably the multi-use codes. On the other hand, no-rush and similar credits will keep me buying (and require a cash outlay) - this month, I have a few of the Kobo credits which I will spend, as I'm constitutionally unable to leave them on the table.

I still have a way to go, obviously.
While I enjoyed it while it lasted, it's probably good for us that Kobo has eliminated the contests. It's helped me that most of the books I wanted were not couponable. Still, they will probably come up with something else in future and we can work on our addictions to prepare. I used the bulk of my no-rush credits on ebooks, but the piddling amounts I typically accrue just go for my small list of songs that I want.
