Still got some 65% codes if anyone's interested. Otherwise, I'll post them for the lurkers.

Is anyone having trouble with Kobo today? The website will not accept my debit card number. I have tried numerous times and it just keeps telling me to enter a valid number. I have used this card on their numerous times before with no problems.

Part of the site was down for me for about an hour that I noticed (maybe one or two hours ago).

Well, the last time that happened to me it was because I'd run out of money on my card

As soon as I did a card balance (via phone) and put some more dosh on it the card was accepted as usual by Kobo.

There is plenty of money on the card, thats not the issue at all. It wont accept it when I try to buy a book or just when try to enter it on my account details page.
I have emailed them, maybe I might hear back in a few days Sadly the coupon codes I have will be expired by then

This happened to me once. Kobo said to contact my bank. Bank swore up and down the problem was not on their end. Eventually I was able to re-add the card (I had removed it per Kobo's cs request then it wouldn't allow me to re-enter the same info )

Sadly, all the Penguin titles I checked released from around March on Kobo India are kepubs...On Google Play they are epubs...is this Kobo's choice, I wonder?

Oops, I don't get it. I could've sworn the price was in the 1700's (rupi) when I checked, but now it turns out to be 3568 rupi, which translates to 43 euros.
Sorry.

Here's the live chat address, just in case you don't have it. I've used them before and they can be far better to deal with than email.

ah ok, thought it was a problem my end. Still a big code from the next contest and either a trip to hk or india should do the trick and make the price a bit more reasonable. ta

Yes, I completely agree. I actually bought this without checking first that an epub was available. You would think that a book entitled "Gabriel Garcia Marquez Ebook Library" [my emphasis] that is listed as being able to be read on "ereaders" would actually BE an ebook. Luckily, however, I was able to buy it with a one-off 90% coupon that they issued me along with a refund for a foreign-language book bought by mistake in March during the days of the multi-90% frenzy. At that time, none of the Marquez titles were available at all!

I also noticed that just after Marquez died, the omnibus price increased and ALL his individual books were jacked up on the Australian site to $14.99. Good job, Kobo!
