Question US vs Australian Kindle ebook pricing discrepancies
I was looking at importing the new hardcover of Steve Jobs authorised biography from Amazon UK (with free shipping to Oz). However I discovered that on the Amazon US store, the price of the Kindle edition is US$9.99 (when logged in with my Australian address account). However when logged in with my US address account, it comes up as US$16.99. Is everyone else seeing this?

This seems to be the wrong way around to me. Buying it internationally is significantly cheaper than buying it in the US? Also thanks to a post in the Freebies section, I've found there are quite a few preorders which are free for Australian customers, but which are priced normally for people in the US. Are these pricing errors or special deals for international customers? Do Amazon honour these preorder prices if they're incorrect?
