It was once discount codes which needed to be above 30% in many cases to equal Amazon prices. It seems codes are still used, but there is now a payed club where the benefits seem to be largely illusory for most, though I have not checked for a while. Kobo also has many sales but usually on a very limited range of books. I would go so far as to say that you should never buy a book from Kobo, even with a discount, without checking the price on Amazon.

Actually Kobo has pricertainly match guarantee so the difference between the two stores shouldn't be an issue.
