I doubt it is even possible. They are totally wedded to the idea of price fixing. It works beautifully in their home countries, after all. High pbook prices, minimal ebook penetration, government passing anti-discounting laws.
Publisher heaven.
Hachette would sooner abandon the anglosphere than voluntarilly give up no-discount agency.
