@fum:
Probably the same. I take it, you do not live in the US, and therefore Amazon charges an extra $2 plus VAT per book.

All "free" books cost me $2,30 and all $2,99 books cost me $5,37
If I find books both at Smashwords and Amazon, I always by from Smashwords and will continue so until Amazon stop leeching those two extra dollars.
Albeit, that's the only negative about Amazon for my part, but I find it quite annoying as I don't own a 3G Kindle and it does not cost them the extra $2 + VAT to send via the non-3G whispernet.
