I normally buy from Kobobooks as they are usually my cheapest option especially when I have a discount code to use.

I only buy from Amazon as a last resort. They must either be the only source or significantly cheaper as the question of whether I will be able to convert their books to something that I want is always there.
Just yesterday I downloaded 2 freebies from Amazon and even though I have the latest version of the Calibre plugins I am stuck with azw files that I can't convert. When it's a freebie I just delete it and move on to something else but I would be quite irritated if that happened with a paid book.
