Don't count on that as they change what's available from time to time. If you see a title you want grab it right then and keep a copy with the backups of your other books so you always have it.

Why not in the rest of Europe?

Certainly not because the publisher requested it. And not because of local laws.

You should send an email to the publisher and ask them.

Let's get back on track, please.

Thank you for your understanding.

Rosemary and Rue (Book One of Toby Daye) by Seanan McGuire is currently $1.99 in the US

https://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/eb...mary-and-rue-6 (also currently still 4xBonus Super Points at Kobo)
https://www.amazon.com/Rosemary-Rue-.../dp/B002N83HAW

The world of Faerie never disappeared; it merely went into hiding, continuing to exist parallel to our own. Secrecy is the key to Faerie's survival—but no secret can be kept forever, and when the fae and mortal worlds collide, changelings are born.

Outsiders from birth, these half-human, half-fae children spend their lives fighting for the respect of their immortal relations. Or, in the case of October "Toby" Daye, rejecting it completely. After getting burned by both sides of her heritage, Toby has denied the fae world, retreating into a “normal” life. Unfortunately for her, Faerie has other ideas...

The murder of Countess Evening Winterrose, one of the secret regents of the San Francisco Bay Area, pulls Toby back into the fae world. Unable to resist Evening’s dying curse, Toby must resume her former position as knight errant to the Duke of Shadowed Hills and begin renewing old alliances that may prove her only hope of solving the mystery...before the curse catches up with her.

X-link to the DRM-free thread for some tie-in franchise stuff:

Humble Magazine Bundle Star Trek presented by Titan Magazines containing back issues of said magazine with interviews with and features about the various actors and creators of the show. And they've added a number of additional titles to the Star Trek comics bundle from last week.

Also, a freebie DRM-free space game from a different HB, if you're interested.

Several good deals today

Sunshine by Robin McKinley is one of Open Roads daily deals $2.99 in the US
https://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/ebook/sunshine-23

A small-town baker uses her own magic to confront a post–vampire apocalypse world in this award-winning urban fantasy Neil Gaiman called “pretty much perfect.”
Although it had been mostly deserted since the Voodoo Wars, there hadn’t been any trouble out at the lake for years. Rae Seddon, nicknamed Sunshine, head baker at her family’s busy and popular café in downtown New Arcadia, needed a place to get away from all the noise and confusion—of the clientele and her family. Just for a few hours. Just to be able to hear herself think.
She knew about the Others, of course. Everyone did. And several of her family’s best regular customers were from SOF—Special Other Forces—which had been created to deal with the threat and the danger of the Others.
She drove out to her family’s old lakeside cabin and sat on the porch, swinging her feet and enjoying the silence and the silver moonlight on the water.
She never heard them coming. Of course, you don’t when they’re vampires.

Kitty and The Midnight Hour by Carrie Vaughn is $1.99 in the US (book 1 in series)
https://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/eb...-midnight-hour

Kitty Norville is a midnight-shift DJ for a Denver radio station?and a werewolf in the closet. Her new late-night advice show for the supernaturally disadvantaged is a raging success, but it?s Kitty who can use some help. With one sexy werewolf-hunter and a few homicidal undead on her tail, Kitty may have bitten off more than she can chew?

His Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik is $1.99 (book 1 in series)
https://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/eb...jesty-s-dragon

Aerial combat brings a thrilling new dimension to the Napoleonic Wars as valiant warriors rise to Britain’s defense by taking to the skies . . . not aboard aircraft but atop the mighty backs of fighting dragons.

When HMS Reliant captures a French frigate and seizes its precious cargo, an unhatched dragon egg, fate sweeps Capt. Will Laurence from his seafaring life into an uncertain future–and an unexpected kinship with a most extraordinary creature. Thrust into the rarified world of the Aerial Corps as master of the dragon Temeraire, he will face a crash course in the daring tactics of airborne battle. For as France’s own dragon-borne forces rally to breach British soil in Bonaparte’s boldest gambit, Laurence and Temeraire must soar into their own baptism of fire.

I really enjoyed "His Majesty's Dragon" by Naomi Novik, several years ago (on Kindle).

8 of them, at least. There are 12 (?) books in the main series, plus a few "spin-offs".

I tried to read the first volume and got a bit past page 200, but I just couldn't go any further. It felt like I was getting rubbed the wrong way in the gonads with a sharp-bristled dog brush.

I enjoyed them, but I guess some of us find the dog-brush thing kind of fun

Is there really a "right way"?
