Starts for you possibly 5am, and for me possibly 3am tomorrow morning (Thursday, 21/8).

But it's terribly uninviting .... only 1% of the codes are 55% and over.

Only slightly better than none when it takes 99 tries to get a marginally better single use coupon than simply using the unlimited Perkepolis code.

Exactly!!!

I suppose if people choose to have a flutter knowing that the yield is not generous then good for them.

(Or maybe they're addicted to Kobo Contests )

I wouldn't say I have a flutter, but even 55 or 65 percent is good for me! Sure, if I get a 75 I use it, but even in the better odds contests, I've only gotten a 75 twice. I almost always end up using a 65 from someone here. At half off many of the books I buy are great deals. Obviously your mileage will vary!

You've got to put a value on your time. A flutter is one thing, lightning may strike, but to put in hours to save an extra 25% or 35%? That would have to be one expensive book.

Just to put it in perspective, at 2% odds every 50 entries would on average get one 75% off code. At 0.2% odds, that would be 500 entries.

If that's still worth it, you might as well wait until the last day, when you get ten entries per email.

If you compare a 75% coupon with a 55% coupon, the 55% coupon is 80% more expensive. A 65% coupon is 40% more expensive than a 75% coupon.

Correct. The Agatha Christie novels published by HarperCollins are $0.99 in Canada for anyone interested. I've been reading the ones I could find at my library and I'd like to own copies so I just bought 68 of them.

Well, yes, but when buying a 2.99 or 5 dollar book, I still save a couple of bucks and get a book I've been wanting. Sure, it would be nice to save more, but that doesn't always happen. It's still worked out to be cheaper than the Amazon price in all cases and on a 5 and 6 dollar book, I'm thrilled to get it for 3 or less!!!

Since I run a blog, we usually have fun with the trivia and the coupons as a bonus. I try to post extra coupons at the blog and here or answer any requests from this thread specifically if I'm lucky enough to get a coupon. And sure, no one has to play if they don't have the time. A lot of my blog followers play until they get a 55 or better, they buy the book they want and then they don't comment further. Nothing wrong with that either.

My goal is to win a reader...so I'll keep playing!

Looks like a great deal... are you sure you have bought every single one of them? Can I confirm that the code perkopolis doesn't work on these discounted books? And being super stingy - are there any trick one may pull to avoid sales taxes?

I didn't buy the Tommy and Tuppence ones (not my favourites) or the first few which are public domain, and I probably missed a few others while trying to avoid the short stories which are all mixed in when you do a search. No, the discount code doesn't work. The tax on 68 books was under $4 for me in Alberta (no provincial tax here), but I don't think there is any way to avoid the federal Canadian tax.

@BearMountainBooks. I didn't misunderstood you. It was just a math exercise to show that a small increase of the discount percentage really adds up.
Happy hunting (to all).
