Both of these posts are true.

It’s frustrating. The selection is limited, and I question the value of VIP points since no books I buy ever allow them to be applied, but Kobo is trying. The publishers seem to have their hands tied.

What *really* sets me off is how much more expensive Kobo books are compared to Kindle prices. I recently bought a five book series for $23 on Kindle that was selling for $35 on Kobo. No amount of pleading could get customer support to drop the price or offer me a discount code. Instead, they wanted me to buy it from them, request a price match, and be happy with a $12 credit. 🤷🏻*♂️ I bought it on Amazon and side-loaded the stripped DRM version onto my daughter’s Kobo.

Experiences like that make me wonder sometimes if maybe it’s not entirely the publishers at fault.
