We have two companies that manufacture ereaders. (And iRex previously, which is now bankrupt.) There is only one ebook distributor, and most prices are fixed. Each Dutch book has a specific price, which is the same in all stores. Same for English books.
English books that cost $5.99 or less at Kobo/Wherever, would easily cost €7.99 ($10.95) or even more in a Dutch store. Very often, Amazon matches the prices of the Dutch stores if buying English books there, when using a Dutch account. Other retailers don't do that, and they often turn out to be 25-50% cheaper, not even including coupons.
