I can't think of a single time when Google Books has been the cheapest of the 3, although there have been a few times when a book was only available there. I use price matching only occasionally, to get store credit for when Kobo has a book that Kindle doesn't, or to increase an already favorable price differential on another book. The "+10%" can add up. Over the 3+ years of having a Kobo, I've probably saved enough to pay for half of my Kobo VIP membership in that time. And THAT has saved me more overall, so the few minutes spent each claim have been worthwhile for me.
