Now I have to mess with each individually and figure out a price that is close AFTER the exchange that ends in .99 (we can't participate in any promos if the price doesn't end in .99).
The change in the way we have to do it may mean some authors don't realize it isn't changing for all countries or they only want the book on sale in some countries. Some of the promos are specific to some countries (in other words we are told that ads and deals will only be done in certain countries.) I think the boxing promo is only Canada and maybe US? I forget. Because I can't keep track. It can be confusing especially for authors running more than one promo each month.

Thanks for the explanation.
It certainly doesn't sound as if Kobo is making things easy for the authors. You'd think they'd be doing everything they could to make it easier for authors - after all, without the author they have no product & no business.
