I was introduced to TunnelBear and VPNs on this site, they might help you get the prices you want.
Sometimes the varying prices on a book are because of the different publishers in the different countries. Just from my post above you will notice the big difference in the price of Heart of Obsidian between the two publishers, Orion and Penguin.

I want The Light Between the Oceans; it's published by Scribner for $11.66 and Tom David for $3.99. Both prices are available to me; guess which one I'll choose

Even release dates are affected by this craziness. Ben Aaronovitch's Broken Homes was available in the UK from Jul 25; it's coming to the US on Feb 14, 2014
