To use it, find the book you're interested in on the store, and pass the entire URL to the script. e.g.

Code:
kobocompare https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/alliance-rising-1
and wait a little bit.

I've hardcoded a set of currency conversions to GBP, which obviously could be improved by someone. Equally obviously it could check each store in parallel instead of one at a time. Patches welcome, as they say.
Could you please convert this to Python to run in calibre?
