If a publisher ships directly to a Canadian distributor (or is their own) then the percentage is based on Canadian price. If they instead ship to a US distributor that then ships to Canada & the US, the price is most likely based on % of US price. Either way contracts are negotiated and I doubt even a Canadian distributor would negotiate based on the higher Canadian price. It may be that the Canadian corporate side of things is doing the gouging, or not. Most such reports are based on larger booksellers than WotC, most of which probably run their own Canadian subsidiaries.I think the main presentation problem with Eberron is that folks think the "different" elements are more pervasive than they are. Warforged aren't common, the Lightning Rail only connects a handful of major cities, Air Ships are expensive and uncommon. (Heck, FR has airships anyway.) This is perpetuated by Dungeon and the novel staff, and WotC seems to forget their own advice in highlighting what's different rather than what's the same.(Heck, I used Warforged in a Ravenloft game, they were Soulforged, it was the custom of Nova Vaasa or Falkovnia, I forget which, for fallen warriors to give themselves over to be eternal guardians. Like Karrnathi Skeletons.)</blockquote>
