Seriously? One writes this on a blog? They're not the same books; why should the prices be the same?
"The difference between $252.10 and $157.58 is $94.52, and it means that US Kindle customers pay 59.98 per cent more for our Kindle bestsellers."
No it doesn't.
It also doesn't take into account that Kindle books are new in the UK, and Amazon is discounting them more. Those discounts won't last.
