"P is for Peril" by Sue Grafton is $20.99 while all the other books in the series are all $8.99. What's up with that??

Another "+1" for luzme.com. It is a good, maintained, up-to-date resource. I don't like their very short login sessions.
Of course you do need to double-check before you buy because sometimes the stores will have bad data in the data that luzme consumes. e.g. Sony used to have books in the wrong language. |

@BrodieKobo. Thank you for your participation. Communication is something that Kobo should do more.

Not just by adding new countries to participate in a (monthly) contest - if permitted under local regulations and laws - but offer (attractive) discounts on book titles in their native language as most customers prefer to read in their native language. For example: I have not yet seen or found any discount coupon code or special offer that was issued for an 'important' or 'national day' in let's say France, Germany, Spain or The Netherlands. Like Canada day for Canada, or the 4th of July for the USA. Quote:

The photo attached is an example of confusing Kobo pricing. This example is the Aus Deal of the Day for today, and has inconsistent pricing (it's not a book that I want, just using this as an example of when something has gone odd).

The Kobo store is a mess and the pricing is to some degree responsible. Though there are occasional bargains, it seems that a coupon is required on Kobo in many cases just to make the price competitive. Best to offer competitive prices across the board with coupons and promotions reserved for genuine bargains. I don't believe "lock-in" is working for many customers, so Kobo is in many but not all cases directly competing with Amazon. Even if this is not the case, a poster above kindly pointed out that Google is price matching Amazon. I don't know if this is across the board, but Google Books is certainly a direct competitor. Kobo, it is time to get serious on price. I love my H2O, but would swap it for a Voyage in a heartbeat (or resurrect my Paperwhite) if I was ever to truly be locked-in to your store. Please get your act together a.s.a.p. |
