I read that Kobo actually blamed the end of agency in the US for the loss of their market share. In my case once the price fixing started, I pretty much stopped buying, and when the agency pricing stopped Kobo still didn't discount their book prices so I bought at Amazon.

Here's the post from the Digital Reader about Kobo - http://www.the-digital-reader.com/20...-will-kill-us/
