And why do I have to pay 50% more in the UK? Answer is I don't. I simply don't buy the book.

Edit : Emailed Booksonboard in disgust. Don't see it changing anything :P

Edit Edit : I emailed Harper Collins too.

And I checked to see what price fixing laws are. As far as I can see if this was within the UK it might even be illegal. But I'm no lawyer!
Where did you get those prices?

For me, on BoB:

US: €14,61 (epub), €15,51 (ereader) and €14,05 (audio)

UK: €10,85 (epub) and €11,52 (ereader) (no audio).

I was logged in, with an account with my own country.

So, it would be cheaper to buy that one in the UK store...
