If you're in Australia you quite often get books prices $15 and over for Kindle. It's the latest in the "make them pay" antics of publishers such as Hachette

eg...
Omnibus of A Fire upon the Deep and A Deepness in the Sky costs $32.95 in Australia.
Pre-order of Kim Stanley Robinson's 2312 costs $18.95
Blue Remembered Earth by Alastair Reynolds costs $21.96 (apparently that's a saving)
Flashback by Dan Simmons - $14.04 (at a whopping 50% savings on the listed price)
The Mechanical Messiah and Other Marvels of the Modern Age by Robert Rankin - $18.67 down from $24.95

And this one from Macmillan:
Manhattan in Reverse by Peter Hamilton - $16.46

We're starting to see this more and more in Australia which is why faking a US address is a more and more attractive proposition. You get the books they block from Australia and at a better price.
