If the latter, any chance you could link to it please as I can't find mention anywhere.

An actual sale, not the daily deal. I’m away from my computer but will try to link before it is over. I saw it as a banner ad last night, my time.

Thank you so much for the direct link to the sale, really appreciated.

No sign of it from the main homepage (unless I need to ask Santa for some new glasses next year)

Hmmm....didn't work for me, and it's still pretty early on 12/26.

Cannot continue.
We can’t apply this promo code. Your items might not be eligible for this promo, or your code may have expired. Learn more.
OK, got it.

Does it say anywhere if you have to have a Kobo audiobook subscription or something? (I don't...)

I took a look over at Slickdeals and other people are also mentioning that the code seems to have expired at the end of December 25th, not 26th. Looks like the original announcement was in error.

You might want to try again later in the day. If Kobo gets a bunch of complaints about the date error they may decide to re-activate the code.

Here's a good type of Google search to use for the above type of query--the discussion of which began with EmilyK, I think. I'm going to plug in terms for the question raised above. But first I'll give you the format to use.

It searches an entire website, including pages that are not "up--"webpages that people ordinarily cannot see. Most businesses with websites seem not to be aware that people can do this; the webmasters that do know, and care, will lock a person out by requiring that he/she use a password. But, surprisingly, websites which do that are relatively few, in my experience (I've got some theories as to why, but I'll spare you those).

"search term(s)" site:www.websitename.com
[of course, if the domain name of the website uses .org, .info, or whatever, instead of ".com," you would use it instead of ".com"(Note: a link will be created automatically, as reflected in the format above)].

Here is a search of Amazon for the information that was discussed above, beginning with EmilyK, I think:

"boxing day" site:amazon.com
[I got 7,650 hits doing that exact search (a little much to check individually. You'll want to filter/sort the returns--use the menu immediately above the information about the number of hits). Another way to limit the hits is to add some words to the search, for example, "boxing day audiobook sale" or "boxing day audiobook promotion 2018"].

ADDENDUM: Google has several specialized types of searches. I have found the one above to be extremely useful. I found it on their searches information webpage (I'll try to look for the URL for that webpage, to pass it along to you, soon after I get through with this post).

Thanks for the reminder. I need to go cancel my Downpour, but don't have anything I really need right now from them, but I'll set a reminder!

Downpour --> $7.98 -- Almost Human -- Lee Berger, et al --> NF archaeology


When I saw the title, I was full of hope--I thought that someone finally had written a book about our own tubemonkey and, on top of that, it was so popular that an audiobook had been made of the book!

Imagine my disappointment when saw that it was about archaeology!

One day you'll get the recognition that you deserve, tm. One day.

BTW, this is a book I'd read. I like the subject.
