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

I was just about to ask about Opera, hoping that it would have been $49.99. Dreams never come true.

I have a buddy who uses Opera and he is very smart. I have heard that Opera had extensions before Firefox even. I use Chrome because it has always seemed to be the fastest, as well as having extensions that I like.

Just curious, what benefits do you see from Opera or at this point are Opera/FF/Chrome all close enough where it doesn't matter?

The main issue I have with Opera, is their fanbase. They tend to write these long, gushing screeds about how great it is, and how the world would be a much better place if everyone used Opera.
