Selection aside, other than for price-fixed books, Amazon UK is also considerably cheaper than Waterstones. Of the three current Bestsellers and Recommends on the Waterstone eBook page, 3 are cheaper at Amazon and 1 the same price. Of the 4 Man Booker shortlist books, all 4 are cheaper at Amazon. And we aren't talking a couple of pence cheaper, but £3.99 vs £8.96, for the first book on the Waterstone page (Headhunters by Jo Nesbo), although the other price differences are less than that, but still significant.
