Maybe we're doing this already, but how do you feel about setting up a weekly price challenge for popular titles? (No doubt someone will set up a website to automate this kind of thing in due course.)

For example, I have been seeking "The Almost Moon" by Alice Sebold, in the Adobe format.

The different prices I have found are:

UK
WHSmith Ebooks : £3.83
Waterstones : £7.19
Blackwell's : £16.99

USA (at today's exchange rate of $1.58 to the £1)
Books on Board : £6.91
Diesel e-books : £5.97
Ebooks.com : £6.22

So clearly there's a price differential of around £13 from bottom to top, which is well worth having.
