I will likely never use the points I have earned. I once started looking at books that can use these points and there wasn't anything close to interesting to me. If there was later in the list, I was not going to waste my time looking. Kobo knows what I like, they could pare down the list but they don't.

It might vary by country, but the vast majority of the books I normally buy can be bought with super points, including books by some of the big publishers, and even books published by Hachette which are not normally eligible for promo code discounts.
When I look back at the books I read in
2017, 90% of them are eligible for purchase with super points at Kobo (New Zealand).
Edit: Using the filters on the Kobo website to separate and count the number of free, paid, and points-eligible ebooks, I calciulate that 93% of all the paid ebooks are eligible for purchase with super points. (New Zealand)
Edit: You don't need to look through a list of all the points-eligible books, you just look for books that interest you in whatever way you normally do -- browse categories, search, view recommendations, etc. -- and then apply the filter to show which of those books are points eligible.
(In case you can't tell, I am a big fan of the super soints scheme. It would be nice if they had a few more store-wide bonus days like they did early on, but even without that I find it well worth paying for a VIP membership just to get the extra super points.)
