But, once I found that I had to actually buy from them before I could ask for a price match, I figured I'd risk the price difference to see how they'd behave.

Another possibility might have been trying to go through their Chat process before-hand.

EDIT: Of course, if Amazon's sale on that book had lasted longer than one day, maybe their response would have been different. After all, they didn't mention anything about the Kindle vs epub ISBN issue.

I have used Kobo's Price Match several times with Amazon prices as the reference, and have only had one fail. Another good source to keep an eye on for Price Match is Google Books, which does sell epubs and almost always has the exact same ISBN. I've never missed with a Price Match request against a Google Books price
