A question, if I may. The quote in the original post says:

Quote:
In a statement, the Bureau said it expects the move will restrict retail price competition, effectively allowing retailers to offer discounts on ebooks.
How does "restricting retail price competition" allow retailers to offer discounts? Surely price competition is a good thing, isn't it? Why does it need to be restricted?
