Unhappy Prices suddenly missing

I regularly check the prices of about 47 Kindle ebooks every day, at least once, but sometimes twice and sometimes more than 47. Those 47 are my favorites, but I have a lot more on my wishlist, that I like to varying degrees.

Anyway, yesterday when I checked, around 12 of the 47 were no longer showing a price. Similar to what you see when an ebook is not available in your country. I was logged in of course as always. Same thing happened tonight.

That doesn't seem normal to me, and I wonder if anyone else has noticed this?

Sure I have seen that happen to the odd ebook now and then, but never so many at the same time ... usually just one ebook only.

Here are some of the ones that lost their price. I've checked some in a Private window and still no price. Also checked with a friend from another country, but haven't yet gone the VPN or proxy route to pretend I am American.

In some cases, I have other ebooks on my wishlist by those same authors, and they still show a price when checked. And that last one for instance, is also part of a trilogy, and the other two ebooks still show a price. So that makes me think something has occurred that might be a mistake at Amazon.

I'd report the issue, but I've been down a similar path a few times before, and honestly just not worth the effort, unless you can speak to someone higher up the chain.
