Depends on the circumstances. With a 1$ book this is probably not much of an issue, but otherwise the bookseller could simply decide to reduce his profit (sharing part of the difference between the bulk price and the suggested retail price with their customers), even have it as a loss leader. Only, they mustn't under French law; no price-based competition.
There are large lists of "official" prices, based on ISBN, and all sellers are expected to charge those. A bit messy with ebooks, but there you have it.
