Just some news for the bookworms north of the border.

CBC News - The Competition Bureau says it has struck a deal with four publishers that should lower the price of e-books for Canadian consumers.

The federal agency has struck a deal with Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins, Macmillan and Simon & Schuster that will "allow retailers to discount e-books published by four of Canada’s largest e-book publishers," it said in an email in response to queries by CBC News.
