For the Kindle version, $12.99 US is $13.26 CDN.

Canadian hardcover price discounted is $19.44. So what? What does that have to do with the increased Kindle price? You (maybe) can justify the higher price in Canada for the hardcopy but how do you justify the increase in Kindle price?

When I go back to the Amazon.com store, now that i am logged in, it shows the Kindle price as $18.04 US, when it showed the price as $12.99 when I was not logged in. The price for Americans has mysteriously vanished. I guess it is very difficult to move this book across the border. Rough country and dirt road internet. Bah.
