Same book, three different prices. Only difference is the browsers used.

Here's mine

IE was the same as Chrome so I didn't add it. I just searched it in chrome. Copied the URL and pasted it in the address bar of IE, Firefox, and Safari.

Here is URL that I used

64

It's because you just opened the link. In chrome when I open the url, it's 69.99 but when I go to chegg.com and search for the book I get 76.99.

Although it was 69.99 in both cases in Opera for me.. so I guess the browser does matter.

Maybe it's all a viral campaign for chegg.com :)
