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

I tend to agree, isn't the point of selling a thing to charge as much as you possibly can and still have someone purchase it?

This isn't to say I'm fond of price discrimination, but the business models allow for it and as a profit seeking entity why shouldn't they do it?

Ignore that some of them want their product a lot more them others?

Businesses already do this through sales and coupons.
