I had no idea (at the time) that I would even come to own an physical e-reader a few months later. I was still weighing my options when hubby gave me the Kindle for Christmas.
But there's a very good chance that Amazon & B&N may soon not be producing iPhone apps given that Apple wants these apps to also have an in-app purchasing system that takes 30% from the sale and gives it to Apple. This means that on in-app purchases, they may make nothing or in some cases less then nothing. So the only reasonable thing to do is pull out instead of giving in. if they give in, then what other unreasonable demands will Apple make to screw other companies into paying Apple money Apple doesn't deserve?
