Kobo Discounts: Coupon Codes + Discussion - Page 817

Lynx-lynx · 03-27-2015, 02:22 AM

I just successfully used the multi tab method - but I don't use the cart.

Don't forget everone that NZ has discountable books that the other sites don't discount.

Hang about the NZ store is working fine ....

Edit 2
Well maybe except for the My Library function, which is taking forever to get to the Library page. My first ebook download has taken 20 mins so far, and it's still only about half way downloaded.

If we made a second account and used tdanzie's method, is there a way of transferring books/files between accounts/apps or would I have to maintain two Kobo accounts from now on?

(Also, hopefully related, if I use an iPad app for two accounts [logging out of each to access the other, I guess?], will the books downloaded through my original account remain 'on' my device if I log out, log in to the second account and then log back in to the original account? Or would they need to be redownloaded to the device each time?)

I'm showing NZ with the old-style checkout - will it accept these referral codes? (It's not working for me).

Hmm I used New zealand earlier today and had the new checkout it must be browser dependant

Lynx-lynx · 03-27-2015, 05:05 AM

Jo I use Firefox and NZ is always new checkout for me.

And no, a member reported earlier that the old checkout doesn't take the codes.

JoHunt · 03-27-2015, 05:26 AM

I think I did too much travelling

I cleared my cookies and now I have the new checkout in the NZ store.

Lynx-lynx · 03-27-2015, 05:38 AM

Jo NZ is not as good as India because a lot of books aren't discountable, but it's better than the other stores.

Also, NZ is a lot dearer so it's just as well it's a 90% off coupon!

JoHunt · 03-27-2015, 06:11 AM

I'm happy - two books I want are being released on Tuesday and they're discountable only in NZ

Thanks again for the tip.

Here's some 35% codes if anyone wants (US store):

EWYHXA
WRVDJG
YGG93E
MASJ35
4EDR2U
44ZRGX
Q4VMTA
BPWQPS

No, a kepub only will appear in "My Library", but it won't have a download button. Unless it is a DRM free epub3, in which case it will have a download button that doesn't work.

What I'd like is the apparently extremely short list of books that are actually couponable. In the Hong Kong store, most books show up as coupon eligible, but no coupon actually works (including the 90% ones). Switch to the US store, and the only books in any of my searches that show up as coupon eligible are mainly trash and porn. How is anyone finding anything worth buying with all these discount codes?

Lynx-lynx · 03-27-2015, 07:16 AM

Billingsgate don't you have a 'to buy' list?

Just check out your favourite authors, fiction and non-fiction in the NZ store. A good number of them are likely to be discountable and will require the 90% code because they can be very expensive in NZ.

I'd be glad if you (or anyone) could send me the codes that you don't need.
I haven't checked this thread for a while and missed the event.
Edit: Got it working just now.

Meanwhile, here are some contest codes in case anyone needs them.
