There is even a great big "This price was set by the publisher" on the page.

Publishers do of course discount, for the big pubs usually they discount previous books before an authors new book comes out (a $7.99 list book to $1.99 or $2.99 usually). This example though is not discounted. $14.99 is the full digital list price. It is of course a 50% discount compared to the hardcover list price, but this isn't the same thing as discounting the eBook itself.
