I'm interested in Richard Dawkins' new book, The Greatest Show On Earth. So I checked out Kobo and their price was $27. This is easily the most expensive ebook I've seen, not that I've seen tons. B&N doesn't carry it but Amazon does. They sell it for $12. I expect Kobo to be a few $$ more because of the exchange rate and duties, but twice as expensive? This seems very unusual to me. What are some explanations for it?

thanks!
