I actually had my Kobo Store account deleted a while back, agents were rather disrespectful to me when I asked about price matching when literally every book I'd bought in a long time was cheaper, by double-digit percentages (over 50% in a couple cases), at Amazon US compared to Kobo US. Price matching has never been a problem with Amazon, all they've cared is that it's the same author and title, and they'll sync my personal books and the reading location within the book. And they do library loans. I'm not setting up a new Kobo Store account just because of price matching, but if Kobo will ever implement Amazon-quality personal ePub syncing that uses the ACCESS renderer (not that god-awful RMSDK nonsense) let me know and I may consider it. That's my killer feature with Kindle, enough that I'll use it even though Kobo has better hardware, series metadata, and (as long as I use my calibre plugin to send KePub files and force the device to use the ACCESS renderer) better-looking rendered pages.
