Why ? Well, everything I've price-checked on the two stores show a substantially higher price from Waterstones ........ and in these times, that's a no-brainer.

No, you misunderstand the way it works. The Waterstones bookstore is an ePub bookstore, so naturally someone who buys a Kindle isn't going to buy books there. Waterstones receive a commission on books bought from the Kindle store from a Kindle bought from Waterstones.

I fear this was a very sad move by the UK's last major independent bookseller .

What do you mean by "independent"? Waterstones are a large company currently owned by a Russian venture capital group.
