I am increasingly happy to have jumped ship to Kobo. Their price matching means I'm actually paying less than if I'd stuck with Amazon.

Most recent example: Goodbye to Russia by Sarah Rainsford, recently dropped in price to £4.39 from £11.70 at Amazon UK. The price at Kobo is £11.99. Kobo's price-match (with the extra 10%) means it cost me £3.95 net at Kobo.

And I can download the .acsm file directly from the Kobo web site, and import that directly into calibre (thanks to deACSM and DeDRM) to get a drm-free ePub in one step.

I wish I'd switched years ago!
