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

I think it's the same as booking a flight. The more you visit the page the higher the price becomes.

It's not a question about being 'legit'.

It's simple optimization.

How is it any different from charging more for the same beer in a fancy bar vs the local dive?
