Yes, every country has a different price.

The hardcover was published over a year ago and the kindle price is higher for US residents than the hardcover. Atria is an imprint of Simon & Schuster so they have a lock on both formats in US.

Pricing gone wild. Is Simon & Schuster really discouraging the e-book sale? For US residents it's less expensive to purchase at Waterstones for about $12.

I wonder when Amazon opens it's UK website if everyone will check to see which site has lowest price. And if it's a way for Amazon to circumvent Agency pricing?
