The 'fair' price is what eventually settles out.

I was under impression that e-books are licensed, and licensed to single seller per country, who has monopoly stemming out of copyright, and can control his resellers and set his prices. That's because no one else can compete with him in selling the books he sells, as it's illegal. The only freedom is to choose different books, if you don't want to buy from specific copyright owner, and if you care what books you buy, you don't have any choice. How is that a free market?
