sufue · 12-14-2011, 02:20 PM

Just got this e-mail from Kobo:

It looks like a simple little jigsaw puzzle to play.

The link is here:

And, the rules and regulations are here - they are so long I'm not going to reproduce them in this post:

http://contest.kobo.com/playthepuzzle/rules.php

I haven't tried it because I'm still trying to get my gift card situation straightened out with Kobo (about ready to do a chargeback on it).

So, I don't know if the codes are one-time use only, or tied to the person who "won" them - someone else will have to provide that info.

But, for those who are having better luck with Kobo than I...here it is...

The 35% off is personalized one time use. It's really a silly puzzle and super easy to do. I think I like the spin to win game better.

I played it a moment ago and received a 30% off code. Don't know if it's a one time use either, as I haven't used it yet. I may use it in the near future, as there are a series of travel books I'm interested in...

Um ... what's the trick? I put the pieces together, and ... nothing. I refresh the page and I get the scrambled pieces again, and I put them together, and ... nothing. I refresh the page ... etc.

Oh good--I mean, I'm sorry you can't play, but I'm glad I'm not the only one!

Same here. I thought maybe it was my popup blocker so I disabled it but still nothing.

The puzzle thing didn't work for me either.

Catlady · 12-14-2011, 07:03 PM

I just tried it on another computer running IE8, and it worked.

So after all that, didn't I deserve better than a 10 percent off coupon?

Blossom · 12-15-2011, 12:49 AM

I use Chrome with no issues. IE9 has seriously compatibility issues with alot of sites.

luqmaninbmore · 12-15-2011, 08:04 AM

People still use Internet Explorer?

luqmaninbmore · 12-15-2011, 08:09 AM

Why on earth do I have to register if I already have a Kobo Account? And 10%? That doesn't even get it down to the prices on the Kindle store. Lame. Does everyone receive the same coupon on any given day?

ApK · 12-15-2011, 10:15 AM

I just a got a 35% off coupon...here it is if anyone wants to try it:

The game wouldn't even load with Firefox 4.0.1--I got a message telling me I needed to update Flash, even though I have the most current version.

Bah Looks like we dont have to muck around with the game unnless you want the 35% as they are emailing out codes for 30% discount to celebrate their 2nd birthday expiry is the 18th Dec
