Kobo's finances are different from B&N: they have to share their revenues with their local partners and even though (by all reports) they don't pay out a large percentage, it is coming straight from their cash flow. Add in the Adobe tax and they are at a double competitive disadvantage. And that is just the beginning of their issues.

Rakuten does them no favors.
