Thanks!

Oddly enough, I have no problems getting into my library with my Netbook (Linux), but the book I just bought needs Adobe to download it, so it has to be Windows.

I'll try later. In the meantime, I sent in a request to their support folks.

Now here's something of interest - it's from bradsdeals.com

THIS IS A DUD ... IT'S LAST YEAR'S

Read Free E-Books + Win $5000
At Kobo, when you read these free short story e-books (Crack the Codes) and solve the puzzle, you'll be entered in for a chance to win the grand prize of $1,000 or other prizes for 2nd and 3rd place, which includes a Kobo Glo signed by author Dan Brown. (expires April 25, 2014)

And here's the page that redeeming the coupon goes to:
http://www.kobo.com/thedescent?utm_s...azj_klb65zNvFg

Edit
When I open each of the 3 books that are part of the comp I get the following message:
'Sorry, but this page isn’t available in your region.'

I'm guessing that the comp hasn't started yet ....

Have you managed to download the free ebooks?
The links lead me to "not available" page, saying that the content is not available in my region.

I bought 34 books (One off those I couldn’t download so I’m getting a refund) for a total off 10,5 €, an average off 0,31€, cheaper than a magazine or a newspaper and so more satisfying. All my receipts were in my inbox this morning.

I cleaned my wish list, bought some books based on the blurb from author unknown to me, that I wouldn’t have bought without the coupon, and I’ve read two off them already.
I have dozens off books in the glo, some of them are there for months but every time I go in a shopping spree the new books trump all the others in the glo and I must read them first, does this also happens to you or you keep reading what you had in your reader before moving to the new purchases?

Stupid question time...

As a workaround, have you tried downloading the ACSM file with your netbook, transferring it to your Windows box, and opening that with ADE to complete the transfer?

Yes, it's a hack, but it oughta work.

Already listed in the OP first mention of it was in the first week of January so I assume it expires at the end of April.

That's my problem but I have books going back years. I also review books for a website so those review books always get read first.

Over and over.

Is it just me?

I put my wishlist first in my "Library" on Kobo, by clicking on "save preview". So I can see unter "My Library" "Download options: Adobe DRM Download" for each book. So I know before the buying that I can download the book through ADE. . I got all my 28 books through ADE.

Edit
I've added this info in my original post on the comp
I am in South Korea.
After reading the footnote it seems that the contest is only for resident of USA, UK, and Canada.
Changing my location to those countries doesn't help however.
I even tried to use a US proxy (against kobo's TOS, I know ), but to no avail.

I have unread books going back to April 2004. I'm trying to both read current books, and read my backlist - taking a book alternately.

Certainly newly purchased books would otherwise tend to get read preferentially, solely because they have current attention.

This looks like a contest from last year to me. Reading the official rules it says the competition ends in May 2013.
