I've never paid a transaction fee for Kobo purchases (nor any exchange rate fee, since the charge is in USD, even though it is a Canadian company).

Oy. We've addressed who's charging those fees. I know it's the bank (and, just for the record, the credit card I use at Kobo doesn't charge me a fee, either, but I know it's an issue for others, hence my post).
Lemme play devil's advocate for a minute, though, to defend my terminology. The fee shows up on your credit card statement as part of the Kobo charge and is part of the cost of doing business with Kobo, Kobo should have been fully aware when they started selling their device at Borders that at least some US customers would be charged a transaction fee by their credit card companies, and Kobo has had tons of time to address the issue with a US portal, instead of promising to fix it "soon." So actually I'm sticking with what I said.
