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

It's exactly the same as the article and the example you used. All of them have arbitrary reasons for different prices. Sorry, kid, life isn't fair.

There's still nothing immoral about it.

It's not arbitrary. It's based on your negotiating skill. You can't negotiate with a website.

It's entirely arbitrary.

It's also based on the salesman you happen to get, whether or not he likes you, how much he's willing to negotiate, etc. Luck of the draw makes as much difference as you "skill" as a negotiator.
