So the real question is, should book buyers be squeezed to keep small bookstores alive?

So how does that work with ebooks? Mine sell in Germany and I think the price is a direct conversion from the dollar. I set the prices and I think that carries over--but is a tax added to it? Or do you mean that only German produced books have this Buchpreisbindung?
Very curious.
