Same in the UK store. Hope it lasts over the week-end as I need to work out what to buy & how much I can afford to spend.

It *says* through the 31st. But maybe to be safe I'll try to be done shopping by the 30th...

With the SALE50 code you can even use it with the shopping basket. It will take 50% off the price of every book which is couponable during the checkout.

It only works for two of the three books I have in my basket; one of those I put in to test a coupon from the contest, one I plucked from the "eligible titles" list, and the next one in the series I'm currently reading. You can guess which one didn't work.

I noticed that the 50% off code doesn't work on ADOBE DRM ebooks.

Sure it does, if they're from publishers that allow discounting. Unfortunately a lot of the DRM'd stuff you'll find is also from publishers who insist on DRM.

Early this morning (E Australia time) I multi-tabbed four books with the SALE50 code. The second to fourth got an 'Oops' error message at the final purchase stage, I only received an email receipt for the first title, but all four appeared in my Kobo library. In other words, SALE50 behaved like any single-use code. Later I successfully bought a fifth discountable book using that same code and got a receipt.

SALE50 is a multi-use code. I added 11 discountable books to my cart and entered the code, and it took 50% off all 11 books, no multi-tabbing tricks needed.

No dice with SALE50 in the German store. Kobo wants to get rid of their French and German customers, it seems.

I might have to start travelling like so many others...

I haven't bothered to try it at Spain. If the other European countries are like this, no discount are allowed over 5% (or 10% at some special dates).

I may escape unscathed from the siren call of the 50% discount at that. Kobo won't let me stack my store credit (from using Visa checkout) with the code, and the books I want still seem pretty pricey for a cash outlay of 50%. I'm going to let them languish on my wishlist for now and save the store credit for agency books that won't discount.

I finally moved to the UK for that reason. I mostly buy english books anyway...

Sorry for asking this question. I know it has been discussed in this thread a lot, but it is a loooong thread, so I'll ask it anyway:

How do I travel to a more discount-friendly country in the Kobo store?

You change your address - only the country (and sometimes a valid postcode) will do.
