Are they somehow forbidden from stickering books with a higher price?
Bike shops sort of have that limitation, the big vendors pick the prices, but they're like 30% over wholesale and so the bike shops get 30% for assembling the bike and selling it. I can't imagine that book stores are prevented from selling books at a higher price.

Ever heard of amazon? Go much over list price and people start buying on amazon while they browse your store. People want to test-drive bikes, and shipping a bike back is a pain. Not really comparable.
