Why is Amazon Ripping off their Canadian Customers On Computer Books?

By now most everyone knows that the Canadian Dollar is worth a couple of cents more then the American Dollar. I guess Amazon hasn't heard the news? Amazon is still charging Canadian Customers $10 to $15 dollars more on computer books. Charging more for the exact same book is nothing but ripping off the Customer. Amazon shouldn't be aloud to get away with this and we need to contact Amazon and ask why they feel they need to take advantage of their customers north of the border. By the look of their shipping Canadian Customers can't order books from the dot com site. Customers are stuck paying more for books on the dot ca site. Amazon is making more off of the strong Canadian Dollar, plus charging higher prices.

Amazon likely has to pay more through its suppliers for the books. You'll notice that most books you buy today still have a US price and a CA price. Amazon probably has different suppliers who ship to their Canadian warehouse and have to pay a different price for them. Don't blame Amazon; blame the publishers.
