While that is probably true, I can't help but notice that the Canadian price without mention of special offers is lower than the US price with special offers (accounting for the difference in the dollar). That does suggest that Amazon is concerned with the Canadian market at the very least. I would also suggest that they are trying to prevent Kobo from getting a foothold in the US market, since Kobo has expressed some interest in doing so.
