Absolutely.

At the end of the day, we strive to be as competitive as possible on all fronts and price certainly applies in that category.
OK ... glad you appreciate the topic being raised, but I was hoping we might get some understanding of what goes on to put the (often eyebrow-raising) price discrepancies in context. I was really hoping for a good reason to throw my business in Kobo's direction rather than to you-know-who.

As I said, I'm not all that fussed about the promos personally, since they seem to be mostly on selected titles Kobo is trying to promote. I've yet to see them on any books I'm likely to buy myself, so I really don't think they're much of an answer to the issue of price generally.

I understand your backing away Brodie, since there's probably very little you can actually say and you suddenly got hit from several unexpected angles at once. Thanks for even replying in the first place.
