Book is taking a while to appear on amazon canada

I published my book last Thursday, its been live and in stock on usa and European sites since Friday. But not Canada.

 

Is this normal or might there be a problem? It just says "currently unavailable"

Re: Book is taking a while to appear on amazon canada

It's normal. Not only is there a lag of a week or two, but also we do not get to set a CA price. My theory is that the books are printed in the US and sent north in batches and are then moshed into the CA store. The price is probably an exchange-rate approximation of the USD price.

 

(Don't trust KDP to publish a print edition. Don't trust CreateSpace to publish an ebook. Each does one thing well and the other thing poorly.)
