In quebec (Canada), a set price for books has been looked at many times by the legislators. It never went through, but the thinking is that mega stores (like Costco or Walmart) which only carry bestsellers should not be allowed to sell them at cost (like some stores are doing). The small libraries need to sell the blockbusters in order to be able to stock some less popular books, like poetry or philosophy. As I said, it never went through, but what will happen now with ebooks? Will the librairians ask for something similar?
