I checked Kobo because I can't buy from them. The servers are in Canada, and to my bank, that qualifies as an "international transaction" (my Visa debit card is how I buy books). So unless I want to turn international access on for my bank account (which I really don't), Kobo is a no-buy for me. Which is a shame, since they seem to have decent prices and some good deals now and then.
ETA: DUHHH!! I have apparently gotten so used to ignoring the presence of the iBookstore on my iPad that I completely forgot it. I use the iBooks app to read with - but never, never, ever, will I buy from the iBookstore. The DRM can't be broken (that I know of) and I am seriously ticked off at Apple about the whole Agency pricing thing (though not enough that I didn't buy an iPad, LOL).
