International shipping for the paper book is $23.95 and takes 2-3 weeks (or I could pay $44.95 to get it in 3-7 days), so the ebook still works out cheaper for me.

Be happy that you aren't buying from Amazon.ca:

Kindle edition: $22.99
Paperback: $115.24

So the ebook is an amazing deal! (Well, if you ignore the bit about the hard cover being $14.29.) Moral of the story is: always shop around if you're interested in the best prices.
