This is an interesting link published back on 27 Feb about a then upcoming Swiss Referendum on Fixed Prices for Ebooks. Those who have read some of my past posts will realise that, whilst I sympathise with the point of view of the author of the article, I do not agree with it.

This referendum is now all over with the result that 56.1% of the voters were against the reintroduction of fixed ebook prices. The Booksellers and Publishers Association was quoted as being disappointed but acknowledged such fixed prices were now off the agenda. I recommend Google Translate for people such as myself who's skills are limited to the English language only.
