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.
Thank you for your detailed reply. I guess I will have to fork out on yet another gift card if I am going to go down the same route as you.

Hi there,
Not sure who else is interested, but I got a notification from Luzme that Agatha Christie books are on sale on Kobo!!!
I just dropped about $40 on her stuff, since all the novels I saw from her were 99 cents (instead of $8 to $12), and I've wanted her Poirot and Miss Marple novels.
Enjoy, anyone else who's interested!!!
Thank you so much for posting this!

I was able to fill in the last nine I needed...woo-hoo! I had been lucky enough to get most of them using various types of deals on the good-old, but now-long-gone, Fictionwise site, but until now I still had a few missing...

Search by author or books and then click the "promo eligible" button on the left sidebar. That will be the list.

Contest Registration

Am I correct that one must register (essentially, re-register) for every new contest? I've done three so far, but keep thinking it makes no sense to register, with all that required information, every time. What am I missing?

SOmeone posted last time that by Canadian law they cannot "auto opt you in" so you must register for each contest separately. No idea if that is why they do it.

One of the contests I entered with Kobo was for a reader and it required that I use my purchasing account (because having a customer account was part of the rules).

I'm kind of confused. I never see a "list" for these contests. I just put in the book name and then click the promo eligible to see if the book still shows. If it does I try the coupon. Sometimes they do lists (like last weekend they had the big romance list that supposedly took a 30 percent off code if you lived in Canada). That time I could see a "list" of eligible books. But for the trivia, I don't see any list.

I don't see the contest. I'm in Canada using google chrome. I've never had trouble seeing previous contests.

Are you going to http://contest.kobo.com?

It's not listed on the front page of the site yet for whatever reason (IIRC it took awhile last time too), but that URL always leads to the current contest.
