I don't want to hear about shipping, paper costs etc. Back in the 70's when the our dollars were around the same, books and magazines only had one price on them. There was no special price for Canadians. If I go shopping in the US, I'm sure the store wouldn't charge me more because I'm Canadian. So why do publishers think they should charge more for e-books?

This is a cash grab. Same with Australia, I'm sure.
Yep. And the Australian dollar was 1.06 US yesterday.
