Yes, but the prices always go up, not down. And I don't think it differs store-by-store, isn't that the whole point of why the publishers are doing this? Didn't it start by Apple complaining that they couldn't sell books as cheap as Amazon was and still make a profit?
I thought the whole point of Agency pricing is forcing the store to sell the books at a set price, no higher, no lower. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo was only $5 last year and now it's $11.99 plus tax at Kobo, I think the Amazon price includes Tax.
