Price wise, I believe it's really hard to beat Amazon there, however Kobo does do a pretty good job in having decent and regular discount codes. Again though, if you find a better price elsewhere, you may still be able to use the ebook on a Kobo, with the right tools if needed.
also i'm pretty sure a purchased mobi from amazon may not work but a mobi free of drm from the likes of smashwords though should work fine. don't quote me on that though i have not tried.

as for epubs they're available anywhere you pretty much want to buy ebooks other than amazon.

i buy from baen/kobobooks/smashwords
whatever i have looked for i have found so i see no problems.

kobobooks usually has anything new to ebook right away (bestsellers etc) older works you might not find as easily.
