Amazon is in an aggressive price war in some countries where there is no (or limited) agency pricing (at least it appears that way to me). The Le Carre novel is not available to Canadians on Kobo or Amazon. The Child book is 9.99 for Canadians on Amazon and not available on Kobo.

I don't know how it is in Australia, but often the big US publishers have Canadian "cousins" and separate arrangements have to be made with them in order to sell here.
