But the price cap is an upper limit, i.e. by setting a higher cap in the UK Amazon is paying a higher rate of royalties to publishers who set their prices higher in the UK than in the US. (i.e. to those publishers who set the UK price above the US cap but below the UK cap.)
If they set the cap in the UK the same as in the US then it would both save Amazon money and remove that incentive for publishers to price higher in the UK than in the US.
