I always check prices. And with coupons Kobo is normally cheaper for the books I'm interested in (except for Kindle deals, of course).
One example is Wheels of Time 14: 16,99 Euro on Amazon, only one version available. But there are two versions I could buy from Kobo, and one is 13,74 Euro with 30% off.

I SO envy you. Where I am there is only one opion, I'm currently in Mexico and there's only the $24.59US version available (originally 34.16) but I used the MaySave40 on it

You are SOOO right, I have given in and bought eight books with it. (Plus another two from a Mexican bookstore, the kobo Spanish selection isn't all that great).

As Jaden says it depends on where you live. I pay no tax on kobo books, but then again I have a more limited selection (on the bright side coupons seem to work on all books...). Also, the few times I decided to comparison shop on Amazon the books were cheaper on Kobo. But quick question, are you still sticking to the Kobo hardware despite buying Amazon books? or has hardware never mattered to you. Plus I personally like that they give the option to download with adobe drm as it gives me choices without having to strip drm (though I do it for backups anyway).
