and even if the markets were the same... $100 is too much for a text book

But the article is talking mostly about importing from the UK.  Do
American college students make twice as much as their counterparts in
England?

Funny, a lot of people are starting to notice that a lot of business
have one price for USA, and another much lower price for the same item
in other countries.  Microsoft is trying to sell its software for way
less than it does here in Asian countries.  Regionalized DVD's, the
below article mentions prescription drugs.  What next?  How long will
consumers in the global economy put up with it?  Very interesting.

I don't view it as much of a scam. They are different markets with very
different members and different demand. I don't think our Global Market
is
really all that close; think of Bryan's salary compaired to that of an
Asian
farmer. This is why kids in San Francisco aren't complaining too much
cuz I
pay $2 less for my Lucky Charms in Denver.
