I agree it makes no sense. They quote this parts of the terms and conditions (link at bottom of page)
Quote:
The product’s price must not be lower due to an advertising error; misprint; combination promotion (e.g., gift with purchase); after-sale rebate offer; or preferred-customer, or other similar discount.
"or other similar discount" is read to cover all discounts rather than things like the examples listed earlier in the sentence.

I can only find the $0.75 price on Amazon. The "digital list price" is $17.99, and the red discount percentage next to the price on the Amazon page mentions the real "digital list price".
I asked to cancel the purchase (I didn't download the book yet).

BTW, before it was $0.75, it was $9.99, rather than $17.99 (ereaderiq).
