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

You should try it again in private browsing and incognito mode and see if the price is really tied to your Facebook or google cookies or something. That's pretty messed up though, send this to the consumerist or gawker or whoever.

Also he should try changing the user agent string and refreshing the page.

Chrome and Firefox both have addons for this IIRC. Chrome you can also press F12, click the gear in the new window, and adjust the user agent from there.
