Definitely logged in and Dance with Dragons is $9.99 USD. I'm not using any weird VPN or IP address, my Amazon address is New Zealand - attached is a screen shot, see my name "deliver to Phillippa's android" on the right.
If the Australian price is $16.60 then there must be something very strange going on.
Another example, James Paterson - Now you See her: Kobo $28.69NZD, Amazon $9.99 USD
Anyway, I am buying my books through Amazon now because they are so much cheaper. I tried to tell kobo and they responded that books are agency priced but that you don't have to comparison shop because all retailers must sell at the same price - this clearly doesn't apply in New Zealand with Amazon and Kobo. Unfortunately kobo lose out because of it.
