If there is no competition this is always bad for the consumer.
Just buy books from smaller publishers and lesser know authors.
There are already some 40 books on my B&N wishlist from agency publishers that I would have bought for pre-agency prices. And still there are more than enought books for me to read. There more than enough great books out there by none-agency publishers.

If publishers control prices in both the US and UK they control the 2 major (english language) e-book markets, and they can raise prices as high as they like, without any real competition.
