That's odd, it still shows $3.03 for me, even in an incognito window on mobile and desktop, and on a machine that has never been signed into my Amazon account.

  From what I gather, that's actually normal with Amazon. Prices vary.

$5.77 from the UK, I wonder if it's a regional variation.

  It probably is a regional variation as I was checking from Spain and it is $5.77 now. BTW, I find it is a huge percent variation. Not sure if it is the outcome of some ML to optimize revenue or some other external (legal or author bound) reason.

Where are you shopping? That's 4.99euros, the price at Amazon .es and .fr, even though it's $3.03USD in USA

  On amazon.it it is now EU 4.99, if I go (from Italy) to the original Amazoon.com page I see it as $5.77. If I go to the same amazon.com page via a (USA based) proxy, I get the $3.03 allright. So it must be some "regional pricing" of sorts. IMHO sneaky and border line with dishonesty.

    Regional pricing isn't new, nor introduced by Amazon - international companies have worked this way for ages: maximise profit by doing different pricing in different markets for the same product. Or varying the product so that it is not exactly the same: https://www.euractiv.com/section/health-consumers/news/lower-quality-of-same-food-brands-in-eastern-europe-raises-eyebrows/ https://www.euractiv.com/section/health-consumers/news/lower... A prime example of regional pricing was, of course, the region code system for DVD movies. And the modern incarnation of this is regional pricing for streaming services such as Netflix, along with trying to stop people from accessing services via VPNs.
