77.43 84.15 9 TOTAL
As you can see, 6 of the 10 are more expensive in kindle format. (Prices for kobo books are either the same as kindle or slightly more expensive - the total for all 10 from kobo is 87.07.) |
With Kobo you have to factor in their frequent coupons. 30% and 35% coupons come out frequently (at times on a weekly basis) and you can several book purchases out of each one by slightly changing the letters (i.e. US becomes CA becomes UK etc.)
