I now think there is something going wrong at Kobo... I've just won another Aura H2O.
I know of another person who won one yesterday as well.
Both of mine were won in the US, the other persons was the UK.
While I think it would be pretty amazing to win 2 of them, I am now expecting to get an email saying theres been a mistake and I wont be getting either of them.

Proof for the Doubting Thomas's

Another thing I have just noticed: Both the emails I received after winning the prize have the subject title 'Your daily prize confirmation from Kobo's Best of 2014 Contest' but the From title say's 'Kobo's After Dark Stories Contest' which was last months contest. Although the actual email says 'Best of 2014 Trivia Contest'.

It will be interesting to see if Kobo honor the prizes or not.
I won a Touch back in March and it seems they just don't update their wording.

Although it does seem odd that you'd win two in a row.

Congrats to you lucky lucky winners!!!
I'm insanely jealous.

If anyone happens to have a 75% or better code, I'd be eternally grateful. I reallllly want a ridiculously obscure book that's just been released as an ebook, but it costs $269.00!!!

Kobo India's Global Digital Press seems to have quite a number of titles for 10 rupees (approx AUD 0.19).

Titles include:
Lord of the Flies, William Golding
The Bhagavad Ghita, Edwon Arnold
Relativity: The Special and General Theory, Albert Einstein
My Experiments with Truth, Mahatma Gandhi
Three Men in a Boat, Jerome K Jerome
etc

Don't forget they're all discountable - refer to page 1, not Contest codes in India.

PS To see this list you must be logged into the India site.

I realize that 10 rupees is only about 16 cents US, but Three Men in a Boat and Einstein's work on Relativity are both public domain in the US and available for free at Gutenberg.org and probably several other places (like here).

If someone wants to buy one or more of the books it's up to them. I dare say not all of the books can be readily found elsewhere, but of course some may.

If someone downloads a preview and is happy with the formatting then good luck to them is my opinion.

Kobo has started another unlimited 35% off weekend sale, good through Monday using coupon code 35OFF.

Direct linkage for those who can't see the promo by going to the Kobo.com promo page (it seems to be the same lists across Canada, US & UK):

Save on these Great Reads generic catchall link, Thrillers, Romance, Sci-Fi, Fantasy & Horror, Box Sets

It's mainly author re-published backlist stuff and self-pubs with a few small press titles, but there are a number of well-established authors with previous trad-pub records, such as Doranna Durgin (Baen & Harlequin, offering some of her backlist from both publishers) and the discount is decent if you're not getting the good coupons in the contest and don't want to lie about your address/deal with currency conversion issues.

BTW, clicking the link in the Kobo US store brings up 88 titles, for me, at least, right now, and while I haven't paged through all of them, most are $0.16, and I saw a few at $0.32. I didn't try couponing, but at $0.16, it hardly matters, I think.

So if you are in the US and don't want to travel...

The 2 day response time promised in the email for the first Arua I won has been and gone and I havent heard anything from Kobo, so I have just emailed them asking how to redeem my prizes.
I am not sure if the lack of response is just Kobo's usual unreliable ways or if my suspicions that the wins were an error are correct, but hopefully someone will reply to my email and then I'll know.
