I recently emailed Powells.com about an ebook they have for more then Amazon.com is selling it for. And they say there is nothing they can do about it. I think there is. I think they can take less profit and make the sale.

Subject: Re: Pricing on an ebook is too high
Hello,
Thank you for your message.
I'm afraid that our prices are set by the distributor of the items we carry, and we are unable to make adjustments to them. Amazon.com may get discounts from distributors due to their enormous volume and buying power.
I'm sorry, I wish we could alter our prices for you.
Best wishes,
Emily

Previous correspondence follows:
I was looking up the ebook "Crooked Little Vein: A Novel" Warren
Ellis and you do have it. But your price is higher then Amazon.com's
price of $14.93. Is there any way you might see fit to lowering the
price so it's worth buying the ebook please? Thanks!

Why not contact the distributor and let them know of this pricing discrepancy and find out if they may be willing to do anything about it?
