For (b), I make use of Kobo's price match. You get the difference plus 10% of the competitor's price. So if I see the book on Kobo for $15.99 Cdn and on Amazon.ca for $13.99 Cdn, I get a credit of $3.40 Cdn making the price $12.59 Cdn. Admittedly this is store credit but it adds up over time. Just make sure to take a screenshot in case the price changes between your purchase and when customer service checks the pricing.
As for format? That's what calibre and it's plugins are for.
