I wish Kobo had all the Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes books because I would purchase every single one of them with discount codes. Of the 16 books in the series, they have 5. Now I've read 2, I have 2 more on my Nook, and there's one more I don't have any interest in reading. I wrote them an email a couple months ago asking them to please add the other 11 books in the series, but they haven't added any new ones yet.

I just discovered the Mary Russell series by Laurie King is eligible when published by Allison & Busby (but not those published by Bantam). They are on my TBR list.

I got both of those on Audible - can't wait for the next one to finally be finished.

Each country has different books that are "agency" titles (and some have none at all), along with their own pricing. |

But I haven't purchased any more past the first one because I keep buying other non-canon Sherlock Holmes novels with these Kobo codes, so maybe I'll use these for the Mary Russell novels. Even if the books are messed up I'm only out a dollar or two. |

Once again, thank you koland for your reply. I had no idea they had different rules. I learn something every single time I come here. MBR is so helpful.

Oh nevermind. I see they only have The Beekeeper's Apprentice and the most recent ones. Sigh. Why is it so hard to find decent non-agency priced books?

Thanks for these codes! I just got a book off my TBR list for $0.77 using the "welcome90us" code.

I picked up Sleight Malice by Vicki Tyley for 43 cents. I don't have a way to comfortably read it yet. With all the good reviews it generated I'll read it eventually.

Thanks for mentioning that; I just assumed Agency books were immune to coupons across the board. I was to able to use one of the codes on a Penguin book using my other Kobo account that's registered with my local (non-US) credit card and address.

I've been unable to use the coupons on some non-agency books, here. In fact I've struggled to use them at all. I've only managed to find one book that accepted codes, so far.

I wonder if some countries aren't covered by a blanket no-reduction agreement (sort of like the price protections in place for Germany)? Many of the ones I checked were coupon eligible in the US and UK, but not all (of course, a bunch were not available for international sales, for that matter). You do have to get away from the big six, though - that leaves out most of the NYT list and some of the other lists they had for various award winners.
