I just got a 20% coupon from the contest, but I hadn't even entered it. I wasn't even aware of its existence, so hadn't even visited the page like dandelioncottage (above) reported. Is this a Kobo screwup, or some more sinister indication of theft of my e-mail address?

Add me to that list; I got a whopping 10% code out of the blue.

Something very strange. Now when I do very broad searches and filter for books that are couponable, nothing shows up. As if nothing is couponable. I've also checked books that I bought with promo codes just last month, and they 'disappear' when I click on the 'couponable books' filter. The prices for these books are still not x.99, so I suspect that the filter is broken. Adds some hassle. Can others confirm?

Me too!

I haven't been able to get online until now, but I received the email with a 20% code this morning. I didn't even know the contest has started!

Now I've just logged in the contest, and the first question has already been answered, but definitely not by me. What the heck, Kobo?

Glad I'm not the only one. I went and changed the passwords because I thought the contest accounts had been hacked (though - WHY?)

Turns out it's just Kobo being Kobo.

Looks ok, was able to use coupon codes at the Canadian store. The book I tested was:

I think it's absolutely hilarious that Kobo has 'ghost' played first games on behalf of certain account holders.

I hope that someone receives an email notification that they've won a H2O without having entered the Contest.

Claim it of course!!

Edit
Q1 of one of my Contest accounts is already completed, and yep, I've only just registered this account for this Contest - and nope I haven't received a voucher in an email confirming my win.

Playing the UK Contest, I get 4 wrong answers to Q2. In other words there's no right answer.

Someone else playing the UK Contest want to confirm?

Edit
I'm playing this Contest for the entertainment value ..... what a hoot of a Contest Kobo's holding this time .... ghost players ..... games that have all wrong answers .... mysterious emails to members giving winning vouchers, even though they didn't know that a contest was actually on ..... sheer entertainment value!

(Well the odds are so bad, the books I want to buy can't be discounted and the chance of winning a device so low, that entertainment value really is the only to play!)

Ahhh yep, I've just logged in for the first time this Contest (UK) in another account and Game 1 is already completed .... and nope I didn't receive a voucher email ......

Edit
And another game where I've just logged in to play for the first time, and Game 1 has already been answered!!

But - as noted in the article or comments -, it is not because one state ha s a sales tax and the other does not. Strange, but not a nice experience.

won in two accounts so far. maybe we can now sit back and watch the coupons roll in without ever having to do anything.

those with anonymous fictitious accounts will probably win the H2O and never know it
