Re: agency books not in IN, well, if you consider that the prices went up a ton anyways, and the contest codes no longer worked, the most we were getting off was 30-35% which didn't equate to a bargain anyways. Time will tell what they're up to I suppose but if you consider those things, it really wouldn't have that big of an impact.
The new pricing of ebooks in the india store means I might check out the book to see how much it is, but I don't buy from there anymore.

They're way too dear in India now, and the Contest codes don't work and there are no good non Contest codes floating about.

So basically, it means that I don't buy books from Kobo anymore because the Contest codes don't work on the authors/books that I want in the CA UK or US stores.

A lose lose for Kobo.
