I can confirm some of this. I have a US BOB account. I surfed to the site and got Canadian pricing, based on my IP address. I signed in with my US account, and the price changes. This was for Ashes of Honor. It was $5.99 CAD, and $7.99 US. I did not try any other books.

FWIW, all of the publishers are "experimenting" with pricing. They change the prices frequently and keep stats to see how price changes affect sales. They are also very aware of what their competitors are doing. The book is $8.88 CAD at Kobo. It looks like Penguin is not offering books at the same price to all of the sellers in a particular geographic area.
