I didn't get an email from Amazon highlighting $9.99 books, probably because I am in Canada. However, on my Amazon "front page" , in the
customers who viewed this also viewed section, I had some odd results with the 4 books that were listed there at 9.99.
- The Help, by Stocket, 9.99 on the page, $12.68 when I clicked through
- The Glass Castle, by Walls, 9.99 on the page, $19.86 when I clicked through
- Cutting for Stone, by Verghese, 9.99 on the page,$7.57 when I clicked through
- Sarah's Key, 9.99 on the page, $12.95 when I clicked through
At the moment, being Canadian sure is a disadvantage, at least for the 3 Agency Priced books--all of which were considerably higher for Canadian shoppers. Agencies negotiate not just title by title but also country by country.
