Amazon: $19.99
B&N: $22.99
Kobo: $32.29 !!

Even worse for me, the price on Kobo's Canada site shows up as $33.69 though I can use perkopolis coupon code to drop the price to $22.84 so cheaper than B&N but still more expensive than Amazon. I haven't looked much at non fiction and though the prices do tend to be higher even for fiction, as long as the book is couponable I find the final price is better at kobo for fiction, but then most books are not couponable unfortunately, so it pays to comparison shop before you buy.
A bit more digging and the price on Amazon.ca is $22.86 so for me buying at kobo would save me 2 cents.
