Just today I have had discussion with Simon Royle in another thread. He discounted his book Tag (part one of Zumar Trilogy) to $0.99 and I see price $3.44. He (in Bangkok) sees price $2.99. Go figure.
So Amazon does charge more. The question is why. There are several options:
- they decided they earn more on that "wireless delivery surcharge" than on higher volume
- they kept his book at previous price for my region
- there is something terribly wrong with their database
- they keep surcharge for $0.99 books
- they make changes to prices gradually for various regions (perhaps they have different servers for different regions and the change in database is being propagated slowly)
