Pricing the e-books from the "Big 3"
Two books that I've been thinking about getting...

The Magic of Recluce - L.E. Modesitt

Amazon $5.75 (E4.35)
Kobo E5.55
Sony $7.99 (E6.04)

Ilium - Dan Simmons

Amazon $6.49 (E4.91)
Kobo E5.99
Sony $7.99 (E6.04)

Obviously not a scientific or all encompassing comparison, but in general I find that Amazon is at least a Euro cheaper per book. The other 2 stores have the more "open" epub format but Calibre takes care of most conversions/DRM sans problem.

Is this other peoples experiences as well? Am I missing something?
