They both worked in New Zealand. Many thanks to the original posters of these codes.

90% code worked in South Africa.

Thank you SO much to the lovely people who shared the 75% and 90% codes. I bought non-fiction books that I wouldn't otherwise have been able to afford right now. Thanks very much!!!

I appreciated both codes! Using them felt almost like old times

(With the 90% code I was finally able to buy The Bonhoeffer Reader. A few months ago Kobo sent me a 90% 'miss-you-come-back' code, with which I tried to buy the book but the code didn't work. When I contacted CS, they advised that I buy the book and they'd give me store credit for the savings from the code. As if

That's a splendid book. And even more enjoyable when it's a bargain too!

Great advice! I like looking for Open Road bundles/collections when I get a good code and want to get maximum value. John Gardner’s Collection on Writing was a good buy for me with the 75% code.

I know and one reason I wanted it was because I saw your review. I was debating buying it at full price when I saw the code. Two great reasons to be a member of Mobilereads.

Thanks for this. I was sitting on a $9 book in my cart waiting for a code, this is fantastic!

What browser did you use? I've tried both in New Zealand using Chrome and IE with no luck.

I used Vivaldi, which AFAIK identifies as a variant of Chrome.

One book was Magnificent Principia by Colin Pask, the other Changing Times by Jenny Carlyon and Diana Morrow.

Both codes worked for me in Canada. Many thanks to the original posters of these codes.

Thanks. I just realized that the book I wanted was not couponable. It was returned in the list, but it was below the only couponable book by the author as "PEOPLE WHO READ THIS ALSO ENJOYED". Kobo didn't used to do that.

It may not be France.

The major publishers generally don't allow discounting.

All Baen books are couponable (in the UK, US, and Canada, at least) and DRM-Free. They are not a participant in the price-fixing of other publishers.

I don't see this on the first page, but SAVE20 gives 20% off. So far I've only tried it on the US site (and worked). Not sure where else it's usable.

Purple Lady · 08-13-2016, 08:23 PM

I am trying to get Far From True by Linwood Barclay and it shows as coupon eligible in Australia. But I get the not able to use coupon error for OPEN75UP. Is Kobo not letting me use the coupon because I am actually in the US? Does the coupon work on this book for someone actually living in Australia? I tried a few other countries that used to work for me, but they don't work either.
