Another interesting point was made in the

It is highly unlikely that Amazon, Sony or others will be willing to share e-book revenue or customer information with its competitor, Apple, which sells its own e-books in its iBookstore.

That list of customers (and their buying patterns, not just that they downloaded the app) is in many ways even more important than the 30% cut of the sales. It would enable Apple to target customers for sales through iBooks.
