I realize that a lot of folks have come to terms with the coupon method of price competition at Kobo, but -- personally -- I just don't like it. I pretty much have the attitude ... "if that's the price they're asking, I'll go elsewhere." This is probably one of my biggest problems with dealing with Kobo and it's why I buy so little from them. I don't like to dicker over prices. I compare, but I compare the advertised prices ... not the price I might be able to get it for if I can find a coupon code that will work. I guess I just wish the process was more straightforward.
