In some cases I am sure you are right, but whether that is the fault of the author or more likely the publisher I am not really sure. I guess the publisher for economical reasons (to some degree) is bound by the deal they make with popular authors.
I certainly see disparity in prices all the time, even for the same author and publisher. No doubt some agenda is happening, even if it is just some experimentation to see what they can get away with. Other times it may be just to cover losses ... or discounts.
Sometimes the biggest disparity is between prices for different countries.
Is there really any good defense when charging 3 or 4 times the price in Australia for instance, compared to what is paid in America .... not talking a discount sale price ... but taking Exchange Rate into account.
