Well well well, Amazon finally updated their Canadian website, there were at least 2 versions of the US shop since .ca last matched it. How the hell it doesn’t follow, I’ll never get.

I also don’t get how prices can be so damned different.
But most damning for such a high-tech company: how the #$%^ can’t it make reviews available on both .ca and .com? How hard could that be?

I haven’t compared prices in a while but as far as I know the percent reductions are the same, it’s the editors who still put retail at a large “exchange rate” markup. Although in bookstores a number of books are now at or almost at par so maybe Amazon is taking it’s time to correct retail prices.
