What is it and where is it going on? When I click this link I get an empty page with just the standard Kobo store header and footer, and nothing in between. No Cyber Montag for ze Tchermans...?

Same for me in Australia.

Change your country code to the US and you'll see the info.

Alternatively, log out and use kobobooks.com

Edit

The books on offer are fairly uninteresting from the quick look I took

There's some pretty good deals ($1.99-$2.99) on biographies.

It looks like most of Open Road's titles eligible, even if they aren't listed on the page.

And the 50Dec code works with them too. Looks like I'll have to show some major restraint here.

Well, that's interesting .... I can get the Cyber Monday info only when I use my (Blackberry) tablet and only my tablet.

So - I can't get the cyber monday version of kobo even when I'm not logged in and go directly to the page - http://www.kobo.com/cybermonday?style=onestore;

Nor can I get it when I change my country code to the US.

So Kobo's got geo restrictions operating .... mmmm .... a sign of the future?

When the going gets tough, the tough get a VPN...

[doubleshuffle]

I do use a VPN, but it's no use when I log in to my Kobo account. What bugs me most is that I buy only English books from them, but I have to stay logged out and use a British or US IP address to easily browse English books.

Bought a bunch of old Timothy Zahn novels at $1 a piece. Holy damn

Michael Chabon, Sherman Alexie, Horace McCoy and the rest of a historical series I'm reading on a nostalgia kick from my distant youth.

Kobo clearly are evil geniuses.

The code for Monday is:

Unlimited use coupon: CYBERMONDAY

By the way BookRiot50 still works too. Unlimited.

Including one of the best books ever written, West with the Night, by Beryl Markham.

No less than Ernest Hemmingway wrote about the book:

"Did you read Beryl Markham's book, West with the Night? ...She has written so well, and marvellously well, that I was completely ashamed of myself as a writer. I felt that I was simply a carpenter with words, picking up whatever was furnished on the job and nailing them together and sometimes making an okay pig pen. But this girl, who is to my knowledge very unpleasant ... can write rings around all of us who consider ourselves as writers ... it really is a bloody wonderful book."
