I know I am jumping in late but wanted to add my two cents.
I occasionally check Amazon and other sites to compare to kobo when I am buying a book. My experience is that Amazon is often a dollar or so more than Kobo or about the same. IBooks' prices are terrible. Perhaps it depends on type of book. I read mostly literary fiction and do take advantage of coupons whenever possible.
Having said that, I do notice prices on new releases at Kobo are steadily climbing. When I got my first ereader, in late 2010 I think, many new releases were $9.99, but now they all seem to be about $14.99.
