If it's cheaper in the UK, I'll buy it there. If it's cheaper in the US, I'll buy it here.

Hmm. That's what I would like too but what would happen about the disparity between 1st and 3rd world economies? If a book cost $9.99 in the US and $3 in, say Togo, either everyone would buy from Togo and the US company would go bust or the price would be worldwide, in which case no-one in Togo would be able to afford it. Sorry, just playing devil's advocate here!!
