Recently got a Kobo email re the 'free' books on the website. Here are the links:

https://store.kobobooks.com/en-CA/Co...campaign=00005

Yes well, as we know things don't run particularly smoothly at Kobo!(understatement!) Some of the items listed actually have a price listed for the book and are definitely not 'free'; although it is good to see that the majority they have listed are free.

Also, the links to the various genres on the page aren't working .....
The genre links are working on the US site, but one of them is "fiction & non-fiction." Well, I guess that covers it.

Does the $5 credit work on pre-orders? It doesn't seem to.

Susan I suspect it doesn't, but to test it you could pre-order the book and then cancel the pre-order if the $5 didn't come off.

I have never pre-ordered before. I didn't think about canceling.

I am seeing a new checkout screen at KOBO. When I put a pre-order in my cart, it doesn't show the $5 credit like it does on available books. I'll have to think about trying a pre-order. Thanks

Speaking as an author who works with Kobo's various promos and submissions--they all exclude pre-orders. The 5 dollar one is not specific to a publisher or writers in general, but I'd guess the pre-orders are excluded simply based on the fact that I've never seen a promo that includes pre-orders.

Yeah I get the sense that this is a new version of that promo, and Kobo has yet to email info on it. Strange that they keep leaving out the UK.

I got the "get $10" part of that promo early February thanks to an unknown friend.

Quote:
You gave $5… and got $10 back!

You’ve earned a $10 account credit because a friend you invited to try Kobo made their first purchase!

We’ll apply your credit the next time you shop.
Well, I got the e-mail, anyway. There was no credit even after some purchases. And I can't be bothered to go after Kobo anymore.

Seeing as I never received any credit the last time, waste of time, except for your friends who get $5. I didn't receive any $10 credit through any of my referrals.
