Huff Post article today concerning the prices difference for ebooks between Canada and the US. The price differences at the Canadian Kindle Store did not go unnoticed!

Man, I was so excited to see in the article that there was a tie-in novel for Rush's "Clockwork Angels" (their current album, which is very good). Then I saw it was by Kevin J. Anderson.

EDIT: Huh. The Kindle edition's only $8.50 at Amazon.ca. Thought the $15.99/$16.18 quoted in the article was for the ebook (thus making the $11.99 for it at Kobo a great deal, though at least you can most likely use promo codes on it), but it's actually for the hardcover.
