Agreed. Price matching ≠ on sale.

Since Kobo will match the price of any other eBook seller for any eBook, there is no need to post that a sale price at (Amazon|Barnes & Noble|Randolph Carter) could be price matched by Kobo.

OTOH, if Kobo prices an eBook at less than the Amazon price, this really should be noted, as that's a true sale.

Ouch. I suspect Amazon removing D&T may spell the end for Kobo's price matching program. Too many people are trying to use it now.

BTW here's another discussion of the "new" Kobo price match policy.
https://www.reddit.com/r/kobo/commen..._not_reliable/

The Wind and Truth price seems to be Amazon only.

Sadly, Reddit doesn't seem to have any answers, either. If Kobo is getting too many price match requests to make the program sustainable anymore, then the price match guarantee page needs an update with whatever the new terms are.

Many thanks! I'm risking a Kobo price match....

Twenty Trillion Leagues... has significant illustrations, so I wonder if there is actually a technical difference between the kindle and epub versions?

Not sure what you mean. It's the same book, and it's basic illustrations - it's not a "fixed layout" or anything like comics where the text is inside the illustrations.

Lake of Darkness by Adam Roberts is $1 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)
Was on my wishlist. The author's latest novel.
Quote:
Good is a construct. Evil is a virus.
The Starship Sa Niro and the Starship Sß Oubliette were in orbit around a black hole, one afternoon... by the end of the day, the crews of both starships were dead, victims of a single killer: Captain Alpha Raine.
Raine claims he's acting under the command of a voice emanating from the black hole: Mr Modo. No one believes him.Everyone knows that things go into black holes; nothing comes out.
But something inexplicable has been happening to Raine, and whatever it is seems to be spreading. An historian studying serial killers from the 21st century interviews him... and then nearly kills someone herself. It becomes increasingly undeniable that there's something inside that black hole... and it's found a way out...

Wheel of the Infinite by Martha Wells is $3 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)
Revised edition of a 2000 novel.
Quote:
A traitor and a swordsman join forces to save the world from being rewritten into devastation.

Every year the image of the Wheel of the Infinite must be painstakingly remade to ensure another year of peace and harmony for the Celestial Empire. Every hundred years the very fabric of the world must be rewoven. Linked by the mystic energies of the Infinite, the Wheel and world are one. But a black storm is spreading across the Wheel, reappearing each morning, bigger and darker than before, unraveling the beautiful and orderly patterns.

Maskelle, a murderer and traitor, has been summoned back to help put the world right with the assistance of the mysterious Rian, a swordsman of some renown. If they can’t find the source of the problems that plague the Wheel, the world may find its latest rotation is its last.
