Yet Kobo has some really good prices that Amazon and Sony can't beat.
I've been tracking "Skippy Dies" (one of the short list picks for the Man Booker last year) for some time now. Amazon wants $13.54 for the Kindle version (and they know I'm located in Europe), Sony wants $14.99 (ok, I'm registered with Sony through a friend's US address) and Kobo is quoting me 4.99 € which translates to about $6.98. Even with the "foreign transaction fee" for the charge in euros (on my US based credit card), Kobo's price wins hands down.
There is no logic to all this agency pricing nonsense.
