Kobo Store - A question for Australians (or those who know)
Hi! When you go on the Collins (an Australian book chain) website and click ebooks, it redirects to KoboBooks. If I have a Collins gift voucher, can it be used on KoboBooks to purchase ebooks, or only on the Collins website itself with paper books?

No idea. Try using it - it'll tell you if the code's valid. Just don't complete the purchase.

I'd have no use for it if it doesn't work, so I don't want to waste money buying it in the first place.

It's opt-in by default; I've yet to enable it and don't plan to.

Mine was opt-in by default. I had to go into my profile to remove the opt-in. Thanks to whoever it was that originally started the thread warning about that! (I don't remember who it was, that was several days ago...)

I suspected probably not so I asked over at The Collins Facebook page

Collins Booksellers - unfortunately not at this stage Melmac (although we are working on it), it's just for physical books at the moment.
So if you want to use a gift voucher for your ebooks I would suggest getting it direct from Kobo
