Watch out when making non digital purchases though that you select the correct address ;-)
PG could you please change the title to reflect its only $2.99 in the US? Im in OZ and it's $31.99
Still a steal, but the painful part of this kind of opaque discriminatory pricing is that I would have bought it if it was $6 everywhere, but now I have to start wondering if I'm getting screwed (again( for being in/from "the wrong country".
For those unfamiliar with it, being confronted with the "you're from the wrong country" thing feels really, profoundly wrong and insulting, even if the difference is only 3 dollars.
For the ones that are seeing a different price. There is a small trick workaround for that. You can generate a real US address here: http://www.realusaaddress.com/ and make that your primary address. As you as shipping digital stuff it doesn't matter that it's not your real address. Prices of the Kindle store should drop immediately.

Do Kindle books involve local publishers like printed books? (e.g A book published by Penguin in USA and TMG in India has different prices)
To anyone outside the US, you can easily add a second US address (or any other country) to your kindle account. Go to Your Account > Manage Your Kindle (in the Digital Content section) > Country Settings > Enter any US address and click update You will now have US pricing. You can go ahead and add different addresses in other countries and you can simply switch between them to take advantage of different pricing, bec…
Some other Kindle book prices dropped in price as well.

Could be an interesting way to hack around it

Yes you can use a fake US address and set your Kindle country to the US, but Amazon monitors the IPs (and credit cards) you are buying from and after a few purchaes to your fake US address, they'll start sending you letters asking for proof you live there and eventually lock you out (force you to change back to your real country) if you can't provide them.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

using a proxy/vpn and buying yourself gift cards from another account should give you reasonable protection, yes. As long as you have enough gift card balance, Amazon won't ask you to add a Credit Card. But it's cumbersome, etc.
