Kobo does tend to be more expensive, but it has a
price match guarantee that makes the effective cost about 90% of the competitor's price. They claim they'll process the request in 3 business days, but in the last couple weeks it's been more like 5-6 business days. There's nothing like Whispersync audiobooks, though. The price match is in store credit though, so if you want to price match several books that are only on sale at Amazon, it can mean running up a big credit card bill. I was really disappointed that Open Road Media only had their freebie deal at Amazon, I really prefer epubs.
