If you buy anything for USD with a CAD card there is a fee and exchange rate even if at par. Fee is usually 2-2.5% and exchange rate about 1% over current exchange rate. Slightly more than changing money at the bank.
Should be pretty trivial amount, ( 30-50 cents for a $10 book) but if concerned contact your credit card issuer.
You can get a USD visa, but would have to use it a lot to make up for the anual fee, plus still pay conversion rate.
