To tell the entire truth, Kobo sent me an unworking 90% coupon, for the second time this year. Tired of going to the effort of picking out a book only to play Charlie Brown to Kobo's Lucy, I decided to try the old 90% coupon from the first Kobo deals post and although I've used it before, it worked. Let me add I feel entirely justified under the circumstances.

So I got a $25 wishlist book that moreover hasn't been available at Kobo until now, because I've checked every time I had a coupon. And, it's a book that fits one of my 2017 reading challenges. I'm content, but back on the wagon!
Perfect use for a 90% coupon, and who cares about the provenance, given the one they sent you didn't work. (And these days, it seems like the 90% in the coupon is actually reporting the percentage of failures you'll get. )
