I think it makes sense to speak to Amazon first. Clearly they dragged their feet and the investigators can find out what pressure was placed on Amazon. Then go to Apple and ask how this new system got started. Was it at Apple's initiative or the publishers'?

If just one publisher had initiated the system and the others had not followed, there would be less push for an investigation. The real question from a legal perspective is, was it just coincidence that all five joined the new pricing system, or was there collusion? I don't believe in coincidence.
