Pretty much all of them should be matched, since HarperCollins and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and the rest usually have their books discounted in all the stores, which is nice of them. The only tricky ones are HMH, since they're couponable and Kobo Canada's pre-discounting can lead to unusual (but favourably lower) prices when combined with the VIP membership's auto-10% off.

Probably most people already knew the general "rules," but if I had, I had forgotten them. Part of the reason is that I very rarely buy from Kobo these days. I was into the Kobo couponing thing pretty big until about 3 years ago, but it quit being fun, so I quit. Seems like in the end I wasn't saving much money anyway.

Now, I almost am afraid to buy from Kobo, because if they go belly-up, I've got a pretty large library with them to worry about. But Kobo is owned by Rakuten now, and it seems like they may be on a solid financial footing. Of course, I guess that they could always "spin it off" and let it die.

Thanks for your additional posts. I was not aware of some of them.
