We don't have a fixed bookprice for ebooks (but we do have one for books), but still publishers keep the price high.
Bol.com (the largest online bookseller in the Netherlands) is also very frustrated with this, they want the ebook prices at least 20% below the pbook price. (that 20% is costs saved due to no shipping and storing and paper, and such). But publishers rather stick that money in their own pockets...
