I could go on, but I hope you take the point.
That's good to know. Publisher's aren't given the visibility as to the prices outside of the US. What's amazing is that they jack up the price, yet only pay us a 35% royalty if it sells outside of the United States. So Amazon makes far more selling to you, and we and the author make far, far less.

Incidentally, all of the titles you indicate are backlist (older) titles. What would you have to pay for a new release by an author?

For what it's worth, we do offer Kindle format through Smashwords if that helps. Good to know about the foreign prices though.
