I get emails from Open Road Media about their deals/freebies. Each book will have links to the various stores where you should be able to get them at that price. A few times, I've found that Kobo hasn't lowered the prices. I don't know if they just didn't do it at all, or if they raised it back up early. I'm in the same time zone as Kobo headquarters (Toronto) so that shouldn't be a problem. And the other stores seem to get it right. I haven't noticed if it's always during the contest.

Thumbs down

Apologies if this has already been discussed, but has anyone else noticed that there is no longer a cash component in the contest's grand prize? The grand prize is now only 2 ereaders and 10,000 super points. They need to rename it the 'no-so-grand prize'.
When you consider that its a multi-national contest with hundreds of thousands of entrants, thats a pathetic prize. The ereaders will cost Kobo very little and even the points dont translate to an equal dollar value.

Maybe they lost sponsors or maybe they no longer feel they make enough money from the trivia contests. Advertising is a tricky business and more and more companies are monitoring ads to make sure they bring in sales/money.

Good spoto! Well, it makes it easier for those who play the Contest and aren't in the eligible countries to actually receive the Grand Prize I suppose ......

So, how many ebooks is 10,000 points worth?

PS I couldn't care less about the point system!

The points make no sense. Purely by random, I selected 2 books, 1 was worth $1.54 but could buy it for 2400 points. The other was $7.37 and could buy for 4000 points. So going by that the points don't have a set value.

Same here, I did it purely out of curiosity. And seeing how randomly the points are valued, I can't be bothered now more than ever.

thanks for doing that blue2u!

So it seems that a grand prize win of 10,000 points aint worth much, eh!

The value is not random, but there seems to be a minimum of 2,400 points per book, so it is not worth redeeming points for very cheap books. Exactly how much they are worth does depend a bit on how carefully you select what to redeem them for though.

Ah, that makes sense Geoff, that there's a minimum.
But as with anything Kobo, if I have to be that careful in their redemption, again, I can't really be bothered. Maybe by the time comes I have enough to do something with I will. LOL
