Keep an eye on Kobobooks. If they do the same, you may be able to use discount codes. Currently, there are 35-50% off codes available.

Probably about the same amount per book as before...they just won't sell quite as many.

I just got an e-mail from Books on Board that they're offering all Harper Collins titles for 24% off this week! They publish Neil Gaiman, so I might pick up a few of his titles I've been meaning to read. Most of them are being sold for $6.07 on BoB.

Sony has the $14.99 price and still has the "The price of this eBook was set by HarperCollins" disclaimer. They're going to have to get with the program.
Remember, Amazon negotiated with Harper Collins, but the other publishers have not. Harper Collins did not have to renegotiate with anyone quite yet--they decided to do it with Amazon, and, as far as I can tell, not with others--yet.

I don't think it is a matter of Kobo "getting with the program" as much as it is that they are not big enough for Harper Collins to have gotten around to yet.

And, btw, Harper Collins is still Agency priced for Canadians buying from Amazon.

It does look like they've also dealt with BooksOnBoard.

No, it's really, really not! What I did was go to the Harper Collins website and look at their list of "featured authors" to get some idea of which books might be discounted.

Here are their featured authors: http://www.harpercollins.com/Author/Authors.aspx

And here's the whole list of authors:

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who finds their site a nightmare to search on. When I type in an authors name I should then be able to drill the results down to only show ebooks instead of dozens of audiobooks I don't want. Sometimes I think web designers never spend any time using their own site.

Their old site (2009ish?) was better IMO. Not as 'flashy' and easier to navigate.
