It might be interesting to see if Apple will follow Amazon's lead and make iBooks into an application on both the Mac and the PC -- such as they did iTunes. Once that happened the iTunes music store took way off and the same could happen to the iBookstore. Prices are indeed usually worse at Apple and, according to Publishers' Weekly, that is due to Apple allowing publishers to set prices instead of setting prices themselves. That does, however, make them appealing to publishers. I personally also agree that because of the DRM issue I do not buy from Apple. However, since Amazon strengthened their own DRM I no longer buy from them either. I personally now buy from Barnes and Noble because of that. Isn't it interesting to see how many sales they all lose through DRM?!
