By arbitrage, I mean here: opportunities to buy at a (sometimes substantially) lower price

There are indeed arbitrage opportunities b/w the various Amazon national web sites. For example, French books tend to be cheaper on amazon.nl. Three reasons seem to be at play: competition at the national level (e.g. promotions), competition between nat’l Amazon teams and absence of price regulation
