Yeah well, in Germany I would pay 22€ for an eBook which I can get as paperback for 10€ or less. We have something here called "Buchpreisbindung" (fixed retail price for books) which means every book shop sells a book for the same price. The lobby for book publishers is stating that this also true for eBooks. If necessary they want to prove it in court. Needless to say none of their customers shares their point of view.
I got my Sony PRS-505 and I'm lucky enough to understand (and like) English books so it doesn't bother me as much as it does people who only read in German.
