Here are a few interesting prices, yesterday I purchased to books at my local independant bookstore...I like to support local businesses but this makes me wonder??
I purchased the hardcover The Spellman's Strike Again by Lisa Lutz and in paperback The Bad Book Affair by Ian Sansom for a total of ... $50.03 CAD
So i checked online to order from CAD Amazon the price $36.05 CAD
if I was to purchase these books as ebooks from two
different sellers since you can't purchase from the
same seller their total price, Kobo in CAD $ and from
Books on Board in US pricing $27.58 CAD
keep in mind I added the yet to be added Harmonized Sales Tax
yet to be implemented and the Cad price when purchased using a credit
the Cad conversion not the book price is trading at par...
Except for the inconvience and difficulty getting all the books I want ( Changeless by Gail Carriger is unavailable in Cad as an ebook so far as I can find ) these prices seem all over the place.
Book buying seems to be getting complicated how can I support my local businesses
with these prices??
