$5.74 in The Netherlands.

Still a steal, but the painful part of this kind of opaque discriminatory pricing is that I would have bought it if it was $6 everywhere, but now I have to start wondering if I'm getting screwed (again( for being in/from "the wrong country".

For those unfamiliar with it, being confronted with the "you're from the wrong country" thing feels really, profoundly wrong and insulting, even if the difference is only 3 dollars.

I wonder if this is yet another example of Australian readers being shafted by parallel importation laws, so that Tim Winton can make a few extra bucks.

Tim Winton or his lame publishers?

The sooner the Australian publishing + bookselling industry dies, the sooner a newer, better model can arise from it's twitching corpse.

Given that Tim Winton piped up last time abolishing parallel import bans was floated, I'm going to go with ... Tim Winton.

It wasn't for his benefit, you understand. He was reluctantly arguing for the price of his novels to be artificially propped up so that other, less successful authors could also be propped up.

In the uk I'm seeing $24 dollars from .com and £15 from .co.uk

I bought 2 copies for $2.99. A friend in .ca told me he sees $31.99. I went there to gift him one. It was $4.99 by then. Gifted it anyway because it's was the best deal I ever had (It's worth the original price but it's a bit too far for me).

I have a Kindle connected to my account (My friend didn't) and I have a US address listed (I'm Sri Lankan).

You should come to NZ: It's 2.99 here.

It's currently $31.47 in Canada.

It's not only in the US. I was able to buy it from Brazil.

Hmm. Went to click buy but it was still $31.99.

If it is gifted then does it come from the original gifters price or the giftee?

Could be an interesting way to hack around it

Germany: $30.65 in the US Amazon Store and EUR 24,94 in the German Amazon Store

I just bought it for $2.99 in WashingtonDC

It's $4.99 for me (I'm in Russia)
