The list price is what you'll pay in any bookshop - in the UK, at least.
But I agree, it's great that Amazon discount new hardbacks, but it's a little unreasonable to expect the publisher themselves to discount them to the same degree. I doubt that Amazon are making much of a profit from the discounted hardback, whereas the publisher relies of hardback sales to pay all their up-front costs for producing the book.
