Also, now that kobobooks.com does the currency conversion automatically built into the prices displayd -- I wish the site would give you the option of not doing that, but I suspect I know why it doesn't -- I assume there's a loading built into the price conversion as well (as Amazon does with its currency conversion), and that's why it doesn't let you see the original prices.

In my price-comparison spreadsheet I also list prices from A&R, which are almost always identical to kobobooks.com
Nah, because as my examples earlier in this thread reveal, Amazon Aus is cheaper by dollars than Kobo.
