I have been looking for a couple of books that came out in April from Simon and Schuster. These books are priced at $12.99 at both Amazon and Barnes and Noble. However, when I went to the Sony Ereader Store(cause I bought gift cards at target

), both of these books are $13.64. I thought the whole point of agency pricing was that wherever you bought the book, it was the same? I am so confused.

The books are The Shadow of Your Smile by Mary Higgins Clark and House Rule by Jodi Picoult. I also checked out the newest Spellman book from Lisa Lutz, $11.99 at Amazon and BN but at Sony it's $12.59.
