Frances anti-Amazon law prohibiting free shipping and discounts has now gone into effect, and Amazon quickly announced that it had conformed — technically. Though it no longer ships books for free, it only charges 0.01 euro, conforming to the letter if not the spirit of the law (French Prime members still receive free book shipping). Its also no longer allowed to give a 5 percent discount on books, the maximum allowed by French law.
