BTW, a while back, when the third Parker Bilal mystery (Ghost Runner) was on sale at Nook US for $1.99, but never price dropped at Kindle US, and since I refuse to deal with BN's horrible no-download-from-my-library hassle, I figured this would be a good chance to try Kobo's price matching for myself.
It was $14.57 with my VIP discount, which is WAY more than I'd ever pay for a book, other than maybe a textbook, but I steeled myself to push the button, figuring I would eventually be able to get the match from Kobo.
I then filled out the price match form, which was surprisingly easy. (And saved screen shots of everything...)
And, lo and behold, a few days later, I got an email from Kobo saying that the price match had been processed and $12.78 was credited to my account. And they even got their math right: $12.78 = ($14.57-$1.99) + 0.10*$1.99
Pretty amazing for Kobo, and for me, at least, it was hassle free after I filled out the form. So, I'm planning to try it again sometime when circumstances arise.
