Same kindle ebook 2 prices

Okay this is weird I am thinking some kind of mistake. Btw in the other formats option for the more expensive book only has hardcover. And the cheaper one has paperback. So you have a paperback flavor and hardback flavor of this book.

I was able to preorder both but I cancelled both. Seems like the uk and us publishers both have the rights to sell it. Both are available in Google play as well with an even larger price difference. Delray asking for US$19 to hachete uk asking US$6.50. You can guess which one I will buy

I get unable to order on the second one.
Orbit has the UK rights and Del Rey the American so it makes sense there would be 2 editions.
I can only buy the UK version, the monkey can only buy the US version and being in Singapore you can see both.

The higher price may well be because that book is currently only available in hardback. The ebook price should fall when the MMPB is released.

You see differences in title for the same reason I think. The UK version of (say a book by Agatha Christie) will be one name and the U.S. title of the same book will be something else, and differences in cover image as well. All the result of different publishers in different countries. You can even drag copyright into the fight as far as that goes as different countries have different copyright lengths (after an author has died) as well. Publishing is a bit hodge podge in that way I think.
