A book I was watching went on sale yesterday at Amazon, and I believe this had an effect on the sales rank at Kobo, which probably meant Kobo was doing a lot of price matching. The book is now on sale today at Kobo, so I can just buy it without having to jump through any hoops.  |
This is true, although if you're early and do the price match, you get an extra 10% off the price.
