I've never seen a book I'm interested in cheaper in Canada than in the United States. I'm sure these books exist somewhere, but in my reading lists they are as mythical as Bigfoot.
I am glad we get the UK publisher in many circumstances and I am willing to pay an extra buck or two for original language.
I'm sure I haven't made much of a dent in the Canadian market, but my e-book purchasing and book purchasing for that matter has dropped considerably over the last year. My library is my friend. If the library ceased to exist, I'd probably just end up reading less.
