Well for future reference the Bryson book is published by Doubleday (Random House) in the US.

Random House is the BIG non-Agency Publisher in the US and the retailers can discount those books. If there is a book like this one that is likely to hit the NYT Bestseller list the week after publication - it will almost certainly drop to $9.99 eventually.

Sometimes the retailers will drop it to $9.99 earlier, sometimes not. Usually if one store drops to $9.99 then the others will follow with a price match within a day or two. Never guaranteed.

Amazon will refund a price difference if the price drop occurs within 7 days of purchase but I don't know of any other retailer that does that. They will also let you return an eBook within 7 days after purchase, but I have a feeling that if you started getting too liberal with that policy you could find your Kindle account frozen.
