I am sorry, that I may jump back to the topic.

The biggest problem in the German ebook market are the high prices. Yes, the ebook prices are about ~10% cheaper than the printed version. But this is still too high.

For example Haruki Murakami's book 1Q84 Book 3 costs 19,99 € (~ 26,15 USD).
This price tag is too high, that's why I prefer to buy the English translation from Kobobooks. There you can get it for half the price (excluding any coupons).

I am willing to buy a high-quality hardcover version for 19,99€, but for an ebook I am not willing to spend so much money.
