No doubt they'll come to an agreement sooner rather than later.

Amazon, Apple, Google etc would not be allowed to do what they do with retail pricing in UK or Ireland physical shops or bookshops.
The Content provider on Amazon, Apple, Google etc mostly sets the retail price and the online seller offers a % of that to the provider. That's illegal in UK or Ireland physical shops or bookshops. It should be that the content provider sets a price to Amazon, Apple, Google. Microsoft etc and then the retailer can retail at any price they want to charge. Why are they allowed to do this system, illegal in regular retail in many countries, online everywhere. |

"high profile writers including Sarah J Maas, Gillian Anderson, and JK Rowling"
I only know the last author, though by name only. Since Mrs. Rowling is considered a persona non grata in certain far left circles I wonder if these circles are rejoicing if Amazon in the UK and the rest of Europe should really stop selling her books. That could provide some interesting entertainment. Where's my popcorn? :-P |

eBooks.com, Google Play Books, and Kobo sell Bloomsbury. And then there are many shops that sell the pBooks. |

But Amazon over 90% of English Language ebook sales worldwide.
Also eBooks.com, Google Play Books, and Kobo are not much use for ordinary Amazon / Kindle users, especially eink, though majority use the Kindle App. |
