I just pulled it up now, and sure enough. Price is 14.99. With the Canadian dollar being on par, if not higher than US slightly, it's cheaper for me to buy it right off kobo's / chapters.com website and sideload it than through kobo's online book store.

i'm still under the impression that 9.99 for an ebook is still overpriced.
I got it via the wifi store on my Touch this morning in Canada at $9.99. At 1pm when I check the Kobobooks.com it's $9.99 and (strangely) I can't even get it to come up in a search under all e-books on Chapters.ca It doesn't give me a price on the desktop since I own it I guess.

$9.99 works for me on the release date of a new book when my other option (that I would have done previously) would be to run out and pay $35 for the hardcover.
