So, is that about the same for everyone? That is they can't buy the books they want because the codes don't work on the books they want?

No, I've bought two books (which is about my normal) and found one that doesn't work (which is generally lower than normal, but I'm learning what works and doesn't so I kind of know ahead of time which books won't work). One book I sampled and thought it would be on Kobo, but it wasn't...so I didn't buy that one. Another book I'm waiting for it to be published. When it shows up, if the codes still work I'll buy it.

Nope, I've been really fortunate in that every book I want is couponable. I just didn't have that many to buy, I guess. Also with the coupon change I was able to just about clear my wishlist in the first few days. I'll still keep playing for the remainder of the contest though

Ugghh...I played for an hour and this all I got

With the codes to share, I guess this works out the same as any other contest, but it is very disappointing.

Many thanks again to those of you that posted codes. And to those of you who are still trying.

That's not the case for me. I've been able to get pretty much every book I wanted thanks to the contest, and the books that are publisher restricted, I imagine will pop up sooner or later as a daily deal or a special price. That's how it seems to work and I'm patient.

I've been able to buy every book I tried. I used all of the 75% codes, mulit-tab, so 16 books. I have 10 more on my list. I'll try the 65% but am holding out a little longer for 75%

[pdurrant]

The contest has another couple of days to go. It's probably worth holding on to see if more 75% codes get posted by kind people.

The 8 already posted represent 8,000 entries!

It gets slightly easier, but even on the last day, it takes, on average, filling in the form 100 times to get one 75% off code!

Fortunately, we have lots of people entering who are members of MobileRead.

My first post, it's a pity all the worthy discounts seem to be finished, the books in my wishlist are Penguin books, so no couponable neither in US nor in UK. I was able to grab a couple of coupons last month from here, but I wasn't able to get any discount myself worth posting here. Today I finally got a good discount, so enjoy!

Thanks to the codes posted here and my travel to the UK and the US I was able to get 4 books I really wanted and one that was nice to have (already have it as a printed book).

But 4 other books I couldn't buy with the codes because the codes don't work in Germany and the books are not discountable in the US or Canada and not available in the UK.

Doesn't matter since I have all of them as printed versions and really don't need more books - just want more.

fortunately all the books that were in my list and were available at kobo were couponable, but my list was small, 8 books, since I multitabed I didn'tuse all the codes available so I will browse a litle to see if something catches my atention, not that I need more books, but you know that there is no such thing as to many books.
I still have to play a few times, I usually play once in the midle off the contes and once the last day so I can answer seceral questions and not having to login so many times, I still hope to get something more than 35%

When switching to India, can one use PayPal?

[tempest@de]

No, no paypal option in India, but you can use a gift card.

Afghanistan has the papypal option.
