In fact it is hard to find cases where Kobo is *cheaper* :-( Your coupons never apply to these books, and your base prices are way too high.

e.g. "The Abyss Beyond Dreams: A Novel of the Commonwealth" - Peter F. Hamilton is £7.59 from Google, £7.99 from Apple, and £10.43 from Kobo.

e.g. "The Long Mars:" - Terry Pratchett is £6.64 from Google, and £9.99 from Kobo and most other stores.

e.g. "No Angel : The Secret Life of Bernie Ecclestone" - Tom Bower is £4.19 from Google, £4.99 from Apple, and £6.11 from Kobo.
Let me add "HIP pressure cooking", by Laura Pazzaglia, St Martin press, £16.79 on Kobo, £9.49 amazon, £13.28 google, £9.99 apple ibooks.

Pity, as I like the convenience of downloading straight onto my Kobo, but with this price differences, you pushing me towards Amazon just around Xmas time, when I may ask Santa for a kindle!
