Even that lowered the kindle price. Since Amazon was prevented by the PUBLISHERS from continuing to sell ebooks at a loss to monopolize the market -- they could then afford to take smaller margins on the hardware.
Regardless of Apple, the book publishers were going to put a stop to Amazon's low balling of ebook prices.
