Today I saw A Dance With Dragons by George R.R. Martin jump to $35 in Canada while it still costs $14.99 in the US. Basically every Random House book has more than doubled on the Canadian site.
What's going on with that and will such stores as Google and Kobo have to follow their lead? Why would books be nearly 2 and a half times as much in Canada as in the US? ![]() |

I just took a look at my wishlist at the eBook Store.
Several titles are now over $25.00, and from 3 different publishers! ![]() I'm hoping it's just a temporary glitch in their system. |

It's $14.99 at Kobo http://www.kobobooks.com/ebook/-Danc...OUw/page1.html
You can use Adobe Digital Editions to add it to your Sony I believe. And Sony has it showing for $14.99 as well http://ebookstore.sony.com/ebook/geo...00000000429259 The price increase might have been a glitch. Wouldn't have been the first time this has happened.

If it ever does happen and it is not a glitch, there are some easy ways to hide you IP and buy from US based book stores.

They may be doing to you what happened in Australia, if not a glitch. Where they doubled prices in December to try and desperately defend the print prices which are triple the US.
