And back to normal, with "just" 65% discounts

I'm two receipts short.

I've bought 105 books over the weekend, and 1 today. I got two errors while paying, so I have two extra Paypal mails. Correct; I have 108 Paypal mails. Just now, I received 104 receipts from Kobo.

Maybe the two that failed first are coming in later, as they were paid with the second try.

I do have all the books downloaded and synced already.

Looks like I might be in the realm of over 200 books purchased this weekend (that even sounds bad - LOL!). So far I have only received 17 receipts from Kobo so I have a ways to go.

I was already feeling that this was more work than shopping for some books, but with such an amount, it could be called occupational therapy.

Only 65% - why, that's downright criminal!

That 90% really spoiled me.

You're really not a hoarder unless you are buying stuff you don't need and won't use. I only bought a few this time because I emptied my wishlist and then just went looking at random for more books with the previous 75% unlimited coupon. That was hoarding because I don't know if I will actually read any of them.

I also scored a few 75% contest ones this time that I stretched by having multiple tabs. So I had mostly only 75% off purchases!

I'd think it probably is a glitch, but if it is then the exact same glitch (90% & 75% unlimited) happened end of October/beginning of November. You'd think they'd have either fixed the problem after that or moved everyone back to the old checkout until they were sure it was fixed. Never can tell with Kobo, I still remember the days of $1 & $3 off no minimum unlimited codes where people could buy books for free.

Aaah, wail & sorrow! It was ME who was wrong. How could that ever happen?! I just received the receipt of the book I bought today, and forgot that one of the books I bought came from Feedbooks, because Kobo didn't have it.

Thus, 105 at Kobo (one of which was bought today), 2 errors with PayPal, netting 107 mails from Paypal. Check.
1 book at Feedbooks, creditcard, no Paypal mails, 1 receipt. Check.
105 Kobo receipts. Check.

Everything checks out, and randomly checked Kobo receipts all have the correct discounted price.

Now please excuse me. I'm going to spank myself for miscalculating.

Well, all receipts are in and just to satisfy my curiosity: I bought 37 books at a grand total of € 49,29, which is an avarage of € 1,33 per book.

So without this coupon, you should have paid €13.30 per book, on average?

What the frack are you buying?

I don't feel guilty for using the coupon as I shop at Kobo year round. Plus the author/publisher gets paid the same as it is Kobo taking the loss (if there is one) from the coupons.
