Seriously, thanks. I don't read indie, though. The books in question are somewhat pricey mainstream-published non-fiction tomes, just not agency. Kobo used to carry most of what I wanted, but I'm coming up with bupkes right now.
Mind you, I'm not upset. I've got plenty to read and if I can't get 'em from Kobo, there's always the library or paper or Kindle option. I just wonder if Kobo is focusing more on popular books or if this is just another instance of Kobo's being Kobo. |
To make matters worse, some of Kobo's prices seem 'out of whack'. I read mostly non-fiction also, and these are usually in the range of US$10-20. I just checked a book in the Canadian Kobo store (the Edge of the World by Michael Pye) and it was listed at CDN$35 (!!) while the Kindle version is only CDN$22. Crazy. Why should the Kobo price be 50% higher? [The hardcover version is only CDN$26 at Amazon].
