It is how it traditionally works in book sales.
The publisher sets the price and the bookstores have to follow that price. Sales are not allowed. So, wherever I want to buy a book, online or B&M, I'll always pay the same price.
Because the prices are open in the US, doesn't mean they're open all over the world.
