Thanks. So, doesn't that mean that Amazon can do what they seemed to be attempting in the US before the publishers stamped on it - i.e. setting up an ebooks business with a pricing structure that met people's expectations (i.e. always below the cheapest paper price etc.)? This looks like what they're attempting - and a Good Thing too, I say
