It's worth noting that for books with image contents, Amazon downscales and degrades them for their azw3/mobi downloads. Sometimes significantly. Kobo is one of the few stores that lets you download the book at full resolution as provided by publisher.

Edit: Also worth noting, for Canadian residents, that Amazon does not charge Canada sales tax on digital books, but Kobo has too. So even on something that is price matched, Kobo is 8 to 13% more expensive.

yay for bureaucracy stabbing our own in the back.
