He did not bother to note that one is a Macmillan edition, one is Transworld (a UK publisher). The Macmillan one is now $9.99, Transworld is $9.49. I can't account for his higher price, unless Macmillan lowered it, since Macmillan as publisher sets the price, not Amazon.
You are right, I did not notice that they were different publishers. However, I would just like to point out that the prices you are seeing are still not the one I am seeing.
One of the commenters on my blog (and one on Reddit) mentioned that they were $0.50 apart now, and that is not the case for myself, as I still see a $3.13 difference in prices!
The Tor Books version is far and away better on the eyes due to the font, but from what I can tell, they are the exact same book.

Hi there, OP here.

Font is a ridiculous differentiator anyway. Can you not change that on your Kindle? I mean... the book itself is just text.
Funny enough I just tested it out - it seems to be using a different type of serif font, or it's just smaller.
Either way, I can adjust it (and I'm kinda dumb to not have noticed it before) so there goes the differentiation I guess?
Are you taking into account tax/VAT on the logged-in vs incognito views?
Yep! It's actually an available book regardless, and the price didn't seem to change for either one regardless of logged in or logged out.
Just two different publishers with the same book. A tad frustrating, but oh well.
