When my various ereaders go to that gadget graveyard in the sky, I'll have to think long and hard if I want to risk dealing with Kobo even though I'm a member of the church of epubs.
I still like and use Kobo, but Google Play has been ramping up their ebook efforts. I have found shopping there to be relatively good overall. (I buy whatever format, wherever it is cheapest.)

It's good advice and works for me, but it's still one phone call per book and time on hold, so for four books we're talking at least half an hour. More time than I care to spend with Kobo. Oh well, two books down, two to go.

PayPal doesn't care how rapidly one globe trots. I know they can charge more on currency exchange, but on such small sums it's trivial.

So they can't do all missing books on one phone call? I would think even Kobo should be able to manage that.

Weeellll, they're on four different accounts, so I figure each needs a call. But this kind of thing is why I don't feel guilty.

Has anyone received a referral code yet from ordering books off of a new Kobo account?

Not me .... and I'm not sure that anyone else has either ....

-----------------------------------------------------

On another note - anyone made sense of the promo end dates. The info on the promo "Get started' page states:
Offer valid from March 25, 2014 at 12:00 AM EST through April 13, 2015

But the info on the codes state:
Use promo code ...... at checkout by April 6th, 2015.

I'm wondering what the discrepancy means - possibly we get the return referral codes back in that period?

Or? (Well it could mean anything - like a typo for instance )

Once again I wonder, why does Kobo do these things? If the idea is to entice new customers (or old customers), this is not the way to go about it.

I've been trying to send codes to many people since Sunday. Zilch, nothing, nada except for two blips: on Tuesday three went through bing bing bing, but they weren't the first or the last that I tried. Then one Wednesday night, out of another bunch. The Wednesday one has been used (I asked) but I haven't gotten a reward code back. Argh.

No, I haven't received a code back.

I'm glad you pointed out that discrepancy. I didn't notice the April 6th date on the code emails. I had only looked at the April 13th date on the refer a friend page.

I'll be sure to use up my codes by Apr 6th. A few books I'd like are due to released that day.

It's a good theory about the codes for referring back - -right now, I can't get a code in the emails I already received a code in. Maybe it will reset on april 7th and we'll get the codes for making referrals then.

I've noticed that sending a referral works better if you do one at a time.

Does this work for email accounts to which you've already sent a referral?

Yes. And it was to one I'd already redeemed the previous coupon.

There doesn't seem to be any tracking of emails to coupons.

Except that I'm not getting the email with the coupon in it. The others showed up quickly.

So maybe you can't reuse an email address...
