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.
Ah!
How are those prices set?
I.e., Are there government regulations that impact them? Cultural protectionism, B&M protections, lcal publisher power, VAT hijinks like in the UK?

Or is it actual resistance to the idea of ebooks?
