If Apple does anything with ebooks, it will be about offering a better ebook reading and buying experience. Apple doesn't do the race-to-the bottom pricing thing.
I could see Apple offering an iPad with a Retina display, and then offering better formatted e-books that would take advantage of the better display. It would be something with a WOW factor-something that we don't know we want yet. We'll see if they have something for us in a few days.
