Perhaps Singapore as well, and kobo Singapore is in USD (not SGD).

I checked Singapore but I didn't see Paypal as an option either under settings or when purchasing an ebook. Thanks though.

Awesome! That worked for me. I got 8 books I've been wanting.

Yeah, I suppose it's at least better than the current nothing I've been given

Sorted, thanks.

Of course, individual titles are on sale too in every genre.

There is an entire thread (a bit dated now, but still good info in it) devoted to omnibus/box set/collection/bundles, specifically for this purpose.

Some of the sets listed in this thread aren't much cheaper than the individual books, since the original point of the thread was to provide maximum benefit for single-use high-value Kobo coupons. But many of them do represent a significant savings over the individual prices, and thus are good bets for the unlimited use 50% coupon that's good for the rest of today.

Somewhere in this thread I thought there was a list of publishers that tended to be couponable in most stores. But, in the more than 1000 pages (as Lynx-lynx pointed out) of this thread, I'm having trouble finding it. Does anybody remember such a post and where it is? If so, could you please provide a link...thanks!

Is anyone else having problems using the checkout on Kobo this morning? I have tried about ten times, and I keep getting the "Internal Server Error" message every time. I've rebooted and tried a different browser -- same result. Any suggestions?

Yes. I tend to shop (very) late at night (US Eastern time) and I have had to try multiple times for each purchase. It did seem to get worse as time went on. Also, I was more likely to have a problem if I used the "Buy it now" button -- I had better luck going to the cart first and then placing the order.

But I was eventually able to get through on all of them.

Aaaah, and here I was searching on everything I could think of, and either got an insanely high number of posts, or nothing...and it was right there...

Thank you both!

That's where I got it.
It is kind of buried and hard to see if you don't know where to look.

Even if you know where to look it's hard to see. I read through the entire first post twice and then had to look a third time before I found it.

Thank you so much for that code!!! It's been a while since I've been able to use a code so I've bought quite a few books

Thank you so much for posting this - I traveled to Singapore and went a bit crazy getting the books from the big publishers that I've been waiting on (and a couple I hadn't planned on).
