I do think that going into the educational field could work for them. One of the lectures I'm following is integrated into iBooks in such a way as to allow the purchase of books needed for specific courses. Any notes you take in that book shows back up in the course section under "notes" or "highlights." Pretty cool and very functional.

I think that the educational slant would be the only thing that keeps Apple in the ebook market. I can't see them getting into a massive war with Amazon and winning.
