Customs/duty plus GST (you didn't think that just because Canada and the US have a 'free trade' agreement in place that we puny consumers wouldn't get shafted for customs duty, did you?). Sadly non-refundable (well, unless Amazon grossly overestimated the applicable duties, in which case they'll refund the difference).

how come there is a shipping charge even though the kindle costs more than $39 CAD?
Free shipping is only on regular shipping, Kindles ship Priority. The advantage is your package is insured and trackable, the disadvantage is that it costs more.
