The post was in response to several posts from the discount thread.
As I was saying, I buy books and merchandise from Amazon.ca, Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk which Amazon happily sells as it is one more sale to them.
If Kobo has been kobo.com, kobo.ca, kobo.uk, kobo.in (India), etc, would there be any "guilt" if one is to buy a book from Kobo.in?

It seems that if I want to be dishonest, I could get all these books for free, so where do you draw the line? I draw it this side of lying about my location.
Kind of off-topic, I know, but if other people are going to talk about it, I'm occasionally going to join in.
