How Kobo to do that! What's the name/author/genre of the book?

How did you find out that they 'gave' you the book? Did it just show up in your purchase history and you found it because you went to download another book you bought?

Uschiekid · 12-14-2015, 08:48 PM

In my case, I got an email this morning, saying they were giving me a gift and it will be in my library. Thought it might be a real gift , possibly based around books I've bought.

Then I just checked this evening, and it was there, but searching while not logged in, shows it's not a gift, but rather a free to everyone book thst they just added to my library. A bit silly, and it's ruffled some people's feathers....oh well.

I recall kobo giving Aus account holders a free book about 18 months or so ago. What pandemonium ensued!

I know I didn't know why it was added to my library and all my accounts got it. It was a romance genre book titled something like 7 nights in a rogue's bed, and the cover resemb led a tamish sex title book. Problem was it was dropping directly onto wifi connected devices that utilised the sync feature and unless you looked in My Library on the device or noticed the recently downloaded tile you didn't know it was there.

Sooooo ...... I recall that down in the kobo devices forum there was a thread where posters mentioned the inappropriateness of this cover and book being on their 7 year olds device; and another poster described how she and her father shared her device and wondered if her father's reading tastes had changed and didn't know how to broach the subject with him. Likewise he thought the daughter's reading tastes had changed and was too embarassed to mention it! Needless to say that at some point they sorted it out and discovered that it was a freebie just dropped by kobo onto their device!!

@ Lynx-lynx

Uhm that's hilarious!
Glad it wasn't a questionable book in my case!

And even more glad that didn't happen to my parents. They would be outraged

If anyone has received an anniversary discount from Kobo, feel free to try and combine it with the contest discounts. Mine worked!

As in you entered the anniversary code and then when that was accepted you entered the contest code and that was accepted?

Mura35 · 12-15-2015, 04:23 PM

Yes. It worked the other way, too, as I was trying to make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me.
One time it gave me an error, but then it corrected itself. I was trying it on multiple books/prices but was only able to use it once, when I finally figured out which book I wanted.

Lynx-lynx · 12-15-2015, 04:30 PM

Amazing!

(Karma to you

)

Mura35 · 12-15-2015, 04:41 PM

I assume it worked for you.
And - Thank you!
