Alternatively I could buy the Kindle addition of it for $7.59US, which is $9.24NZ.
How come it's so much more expensive from New Zealand?

You could do what I did: fill in a fake address from another country with your credit card details. I live in The Netherlands and get the whole site in Dutch (with Dutch new releases etc), which I hate, so I filled in a UK address (with my Dutch credit card) and now have everything in English. A bonus is I get to see all the prices in Pounds instead of Euro, which somehow works out cheaper for me. The Passage is £4.99, which is about 8.09 USD / 9.79 NZD.

I'm not sure if payments will work with the credit card and fake address, but I just use PayPal
