Kobo Pricing problems?
Hi all

I have a Kobo touch - love it - but I wonder if anyone has experienced problems with the price Kobo lists their books at, and the price they then try to charge you?

I tried to buy a book recently...listed as $9.59. When I clicked on it to buy it, the price Kobo tried to charge was $10.99. Nothing to do with taxes, no mention of taxes, and no other book I've bought had this issue....though a couple of books by the same author did...

Emailed them on several occasions - just get weird irrelevant responses about price variations between publishers and the like...totally irrelevant.

Feels like the same as being in a shop - picking up a book with a $10 price tag - and the cashier charges you $12 and hopes you don't notice.

Is this a common issue?

Interested in your advice.

Hi DJC,

Welcome to MobileRead.

This is the "Introduce Yourself" forum; please use it to say "hello" and tell us a little about yourself. You should ask "technical" questions in the appropriate forum on the board - in this case, the Kobo forum.
