Okay, you are talking about books published in English, newly released Dutch language books are priced at SRP as on every other site.
You should never buy a English book (or any other foreign language) at a Dutch store directly. I've seen numerous of these books sold for €12-15, while you could buy them for much less at Amazon, Kobo CA/USA/UK/AU, etc. for about US$4-8. Especially, mass paperbacks can almost always be bought much cheaper in territories where the book is officially released.
However at checkout Kobo doesn't always charge i.e. €6,99 but ocassionally charges €7. Seen it happen many times, not always though.
I'll bet you won't find any info about books (published in Dutch) that are going to be released somewhere in October-November-December 2014 or in the first half of 2015 on the Kobo website. Let alone, also can be preordered.
It is easy to strip DRM but I was not advocating illigal behaviour. Converting books to another format always needs some additional tweaking.
