For heaven's sake! I wasn't sure if the book I was thinking of buying was NZ$2.49 or US$2.49 (NZ$4.21) but at that price it doesn't matter. On clicking Buy I had to log in, only to be greeted with a 100% price hike to NZ$8.11 and this message:

The price for this Kindle book is different for your country/region and is displayed below.

Bah! No buy!

@Miraz What, that’s highway robbery? Why charge more elsewhere for something that is delivered digitally? Unbelievable!

@alexink Exactly my response. I can understand if shipping’s involved. Or translation or something. I was looking at the one you just wrote about with the war vet and her K9, had read and been hooked by the first part of the sample, but was unsure if the book would later get too dark for me… For $5 I’ll risk it, but not for more than that.
