Do you think that India should be included in the countries that are able to play the monthly Kobo Contest (currently only open to the UK CA and US)?

I'm always open to contests
I'm not in position to attest to recent price increases at Kobo. I only started tracking Kobo store prices in earnest since I got my H2O a couple of months back. Previously I'd only purchased books from Amazon for my Kindle Keyboard after a cursory cross-comparison of book prices showed it to be the cheapest option.
I've tried applying various coupon codes at the Kobo bookstore, but none of them stick. I reckon it would take a 75% off coupon for Kobo to achieve price parity with Amazon in most cases here.
I don't understand why Kobo can't match Amazon book prices. There are sites like Flipkart here that do sell ePubs at prices comparable to Amazon's, but unfortunately those can only be read on their own tablet/PC apps, and I don't think there's a way to extract those ePubs from within the apps, which makes them a non-option.
