re: the foreign transaction fees...I did not realize they would occur either. I only made my first purchases from Kobo last weekend and didn't recall seeing this discussed before. If the website was kobobooks.ca instead of .com, it wouldn't have been so surprising to me. I mean, it is only between 10-40 cents per item, but still... They have notices in Help/FAQ about VAT and other taxes...it just kinda seems like they could say for US Residents that your card company may change a transaction fee. The coupons still offset that but I wasn't expecting to see the extra charge.
