The majority of the titles are priced at $6.99 or less, making them more affordable than the average book.
What average book are they talking about? Surely not an average indie book.

Depends on how they are going to get new books, or if they stay with:

eBook self-publishing and distribution platform Smashwords is where many of the featured titles originated.
So they would not be exclusive to Apple. Apple will just advertise and promote them it seems.

It seems to be indie books that have sold very well.
