They ordered the books months ago, at a specific price factoring in a specific profit margin. Now the value of the dollar has changed, the printed price on the back of the book hasn't and if they choose to compete against the USD price, they have to sell the book at a lower price, reducing profit.

Plus they probably buy them at a marked down price from the CDN price so to make their mark they have to charge the CDN price. I'm sure it doesn't make them happy. They'd rather sell at the lower price if they could. I am guessing that there are Canadian laws that would prevent them to do so.
