Cultural or political? From what I read, part of the problem could be that not only are book prices fixed by law, but eBooks would cost more than pBooks due to taxes.
I also find it kinda funny that scant years after eBooks sales began to accelerate anywhere on planet earth at all, this or that country is seen to "resist" eBooks. I'll bet German eBook sales aren't long in climbing up to threaten pBooks there (assuming, of course, no further political protectionism).
