I don't know who has control over the device pricing. So, for example, it may be that one of the international "partners" contractually gets to set the price for hardware sales to/in that country. Kobo is (mainly) a Canadian company, with Chapters-Indigo owning a majority share of the business, but the device is not manufactured in Canada and I assume there are different import duties paid here than in other places.
