Book Prices Around the World

My book Amazon.com Mashups launches in less than a month and websites/stores all over the world are beginning to list it. I compiled the following list of the different prices and websites. Just for kicks I converted the local price to USD for comparison. It’s interesting that the although the Euro is a stronger currency with more buying power, the price of the book is inflated so as to cancel out this savings. As a result you end up paying significantly more than in the USD market. I have known this for many years but perhaps this is the most it’s ever resonated with me, for obvious reasons.
