A 50% markup just to read the ebook. As a matter of fact, for every book by Jasper Fforde carried by Amazon, the ebook price is higher than the paperback price. I'm getting really, really pissed off at the new agency rules.
I'm really surprised no one has picked up on this book being published by Penguin. Penguin has been among the most erratic of ebook pricers, it seems. And, cheer up: the ebook isn't sold at all in Canada.

There is one Jasper Fforde title at Kobobooks: Shades of Grey ... for $18.49. Over at Amazon.ca, the Penguin paper edition is not released but will be $13.51. A hardcover is available at $20.38. And Amazon's Kindle edition is $11.14 in Canada. Confused yet?
