Anyone taken a look at this yet? I've done some searching, and can't see to find anything that describes why the list price is $75. The Kindle version is only $14.

Typo? Borders and Barnes & Noble have it for $26.00.

Hmm, do they do it where the earlier listings are way more expensive? The two below are the only ones I could find last week. The $26 ones I never found.

At a guess, that's the UK version and sellers are charging a premium to get it over here. That's more of a premium than usual though.

I have bought two UK versions of the Malazan books and paid about $10-$15 more than the US/Canadian cover price for that reason, but I got the books 6 months earlier than the release here.
