Anyone else notice this going on?

There are several similar things going on. Guy Kawasaki recommended a paper book called "How to Publish Your Own eBook" on Google+. Amazon was the only store selling it in eBook form (not a bad book by the way). It was published in the UK and Amazon now has a presence in Britain so I wondered whether that might affect it but I've also noticed that B&N often lists new eBooks at the hardback price for a day or two after they're released, or even with no price listed at all--just listing the book and no way to buy it. I wonder if the problem isn't the number of staff they have assigned to maintain their listings. Amazon is unusually alert with sales in their general listings. Frankly, their competitors don't seem to be able to keep up to Internet speed.
