Amazon's ebook operation is located in Luxembourg. Wherever they are located they can simply sell books at fixed prices in Germany and Austria and at discounted prices in Switzerland. However, Switzerland is unlikely to turn into the bargain price book shopping place for the German language market, you can just expect prices to drop to German levels. Whatever you buy, it is almost always more expensive in Switzerland than in Germany. Good to see that people have the power to decide issues themselves, instead of having them decided by lobby financed politicians, though.
