It'll just be Collins screwing themselves. By pricing a AU$32.49 premium on the Glo, it will just make the Kindles look that much more attractive.

And Collins makes exactly zero on Kindle sales (I think).

The premium is 25% of the AU$127.50 RETAIL price in Canada. So at that price Collins is effectively wholesaling the Kobos in Australia at their retail price. You just have to wonder if Kobo understands how negative it can be for their distributor to be engaging in price-gouging.
