Amazon has backed down on its "price discrimination" scheme (and made thousands of dollars in refunds) discussed here earlier. Price discrimination in quotes because according to Amazon they were merely offering different prices on a random basis to figure out the profit maximizing point. This explanation actually makes more sense than the price discrimination scheme (different elasticities depending on what browser you use???).
