Looking at the Penny Marshall title I see it's in KDP Select. So, it's an Amazon exclusive for $9.99 (!) if you don't use one of your monthly free reads.
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (who declared bankruptcy citing $3.5 billion debt (three times revenue!)) purchased the publishing and distribution rights to Amazon's east coast publishing arm. HMH created the New Harvest imprint and distribute through Ingram and B&T.
Of course, Amazon sells the hardcover almost $10 cheaper than B&N so it's possible they aren't expecting large in-store sales. (Bookscan says 2,000 HC were sold the first week. Kindle numbers higher.)
