Yes, I see 3 different books with three different prices, but the price I quoted was for the one the original poster indicated: "Bushcraft 101: A Field Guide to the Art of Wilderness Survival". The other two books had slightly different titles and a different author.

Wow. That's strange.

Are you sure the book you want to buy is couponable?

In US it's $14.65, and I used my only 65% coupon.

Yep, I think that they're now charging English language books in the India store based on the price of the publishing country. That is, if the book was published by a UK publisher then they convert the GBP into IRS.

For books written in Hindi I've no doubt that they're the same prices as usual.

Kobo has found another way of losing my book buying business.
I hadn't visited India for a while, so after reading this discussion I went to check it out. I did note that lots of prices seemed to have gone up, but...

I'm mostly a mystery reader and found quite a number of Allison & Busby and Robert Hale (publishers, not author) mysteries in the range of 60 to 107 rupees. I was able to use the older coupons (30%, 35%) from the front of this thread, and that brought them down to the range of 40-ish to 70-ish rupees, or about US $0.60 to $1.00 (approximate!). I was even pleasantly surprised to find that some of these older codes had re-set for me, and worked even though my records showed I'd used them before.

There were titles from quite a few well known authors, such as Edward Marston, Jacqueline Winspear, Priscilla Masters, Veronica Black, Michael Bond, and a bunch of others.

More details are in the Mystery sticky thread, here:

No, they usually don't expire until days after the contest is completely over. I just used a 65% code tonight that a coupon fairy gave me days ago and it worked fine. The book you're trying it on is discountable right?

This has become significantly less true. The presence of that symbol is a good indicator that you can download, but I've gotten several easily-downloaded books that lack the symbol.

2. Bushcraft: 101 Bushcraft Survival Skill Box Set
The Blokehead
Epub 2, DRM free

3. Bushcraft: The Ultimate Bushcraft 101 Guide to Survive in the Wilderness Like a Pro
The Blokehead
Epub 2, DRM Free

The Product Info photos below are in the order of the 3 books above.

Note that No 1 is Epub 3, and my bet is that that is the version that you've bought because you can't find it in Kobo Desktop for PC.

Did you download your ebook to a tablet?

Note:
None of those 'Read this on' indicates a Blackberry!

How does being able to read on a Blackberry bear on the subject? Pardon if I missed something recently, but I been buying an RV (done), prepping for a 25-year garage sale (in process) and selling our house (TBD).Been only speed-reading thru forum posts lately...

Bob, I'm curious, what do you think is going on with this book?

It seems to me like it must be a tablet only download, but what are your thoughts?

Hard to say; I've never had a book that wouldn't download to the desktop app and actually existed on the servers. I did grab the preview and open it on my iPad, so that option's out. I didn't see any obvious tablet-only features, but there is an illustration right at the end of the preview, so I suppose it's possible that this is either a fixed-format book or is getting detected as one.
