After reading the advice of AnemicOak, I tried it and it worked. Good thing or I'da had to hold him responsible.

It either means someone else has used the code, and it's a one time use code, or it means the item you want to buy won't allow you to use codes.

But since it asked whether I have promo code,then I assume it allow promo code, the book I mentioned is Tim geithner' stress test

Smartie,

You can use promo codes on this book on the Afghanistan or Indian sites - I checked.

Check on the Kobo desktop to see if it's in there as that's where the kepubs are.

The other two books that also don't have receipts but do have download buttons are straight epub files, and all three books are from the same publisher, same series, and in sequence, and this one book is the middle of the three books. It also shows in available on 'DESKTOP, eREADERS, IOS, ANDROID, TABLETS, WINDOWS'. I did sync the desktop app, and the book loads ok there, so I assume it'll download find to my Kobo Glo then.

So that's the difference between a kepub and an Adobe DRM epub?

The promo code box appears for everything, whether or not you are able to use codes.

That book isn't eligible for codes from US or AU.

True on the new site. On the old site you only get a promo box if the book is eligible. Depends on what site you're getting.

Since the new site was introduced I've never been able to access the old site, which is a pity because I preferred the old one.

A lot depends on location, but some browsers (IE 9?, Next browser on Android) give the old site even in new site locations like the US, Canada, AU, etc.

That explains it, thanks. Still running XP, so unable to run IE9.
