I had to travel to Mexico to get it. I *was* going to only shop from home from now on.

Thank you! I could have sworn I'd tried that code previously when I found 75off and it didn't work back then. Maybe in 2 weeks we can expect a 95off? Fingers crossed

Edit: Found another series to add to my queue with this coupon. Brought Suzanne Collins' Gregor the Overlander series (books 1-5) down from $21.69 to $3.41

I just took my first trip there. Hope it doesn't cause any problems down the road.

I used the 85% off coupon for C. C. Hunter's Shadow Falls, Complete Series. Paid $5.85.

Thank you for reminding me of this series, which I haven't read for 40 years.

You are right: it didn't work back then. But I was going to use the 75Off (thanks for that, btw!) and I always try for higher coupons when I'm going to spend a fat one... and jackpot!

I applied 85off to two separate orders, successfully. The first from IE9 and the second from Chrome on my tablet.

I set up a second account to do that just in case.

Are the codes not case-sensitive? I used a capital O myself.

I'm pretty sure they're never case-sensitive.

That's what I did too. Awesome!

Btw re: whoever said that coupons didn't work for them - I tried to buy the aforementioned book at Kobo US and it wouldn't let me enter any coupon. I tried it with a different book and more different coupons - no game. It didn't even say "coupon already redeemed" or something but something like "can't apply coupon". I used Chrome and Firefox, both didn't work and both had the new checkout.
Then I went to Kobo Germany, and there it worked flawlessly.
It was strange (and sad, because Kobo US had the book for like $17, heh, but at 2,76€ reduced price I'm not complaining).

The Essential Jack Reacher 10-Book Bundle
US$61.99 - 52.99 = US$9.30 (using 85off)

(Kobo + Mexico = coupon code acceptable)

I had already bought an Orson Scott Card book from the US (or possibly Frech) store earlier using 85off, but now that I realized it worked again for the Finnish store (old checkout), I used it to buy the 10-book Essential Star Wars Bundle at 6.78 €. Very nice.

How are people finding bundles? Are you just finding them when searching for individual books or is there some trick I don't know about.
