I think they are intending to test the Amazon market; it's not a skewed test if all they want to test is the Amazon market.

I imagine (I'm not Amazon, so I can't confirm this) that it costs a bit more to do business in some countries than others. They have to cover those costs. That's not an inappropriate business practice--it's good business. Like paying more in the US for DVD's of BBC's better programs.
I'm curious, and this is off topic (so maybe PM me instead), but what do you mean by "technically inferior" when it comes to Amazon's format. I have no familiarity with ebook format issues, so I apologize if this seems like a dumb question.
