Comparing Amazon's and Kobo's pricing rules that publishers must follow to get the top 70% royalty rate shows some interesting differences when it comes to prices in Australia and New Zealand:

Amazon's minimum price for 70% royalty is $3.99 in Australia and approx. $4.29* in New Zealand.

Kobo's minimum price for 70% royalty is $2.99 in Australia and $2.99 in New Zealand.

So while Kobo is advising publishers to increase prices in Australia and New Zealand, it seems Amazon is going much further and setting a higher minimim price that publishers must charge if they want the top royalty rate.

* converted from Australian dollars, since Amazon doesn't price in New Zealand dollars.
