Actually this has nothing to do with competition or exchange rates its a law of supply and demand. The population base of the US is huge compared to Canada therefore the company can afford to deflate the price a little because that will be made up for by more sales. It`s why american prices are cheaper on everything from milk to gas to computers to cars. People notice it with book readers because they notice it on books where the two prices are beside each other. They don`t march into their local gas station and demand to pay the american price or pay in american money and receive an american price or any of the other silliness I have seen in bookstores. So basic rule huge populations make things cheaper even when they are produced by a company based in your home country and 10 bucks really isn`t that big a deal.
