Apparently Amazon is punishing its own customers for shopping from Amazon first, but rewarding people who shop around to compare prices, and who are then redirected to their own website.

This is good to know, and I'm going to start making even more use of the Calibre compare prices function.
How strange. I'll have to start checking that in the future. I'm glad I got the $2 price on that one last January.
