WSJ on Apple:

Quote:
One question is whether Apple will remain in the bookselling business if it is forced to match Amazon's discounted prices. Apple's e-book market share is small and immaterial to its business, analysts say. But it may be unwilling to cede the entire category to Amazon.

"A more likely scenario is that they would switch their pricing policy," said Sarah Rotman Epps, an analyst with Forrester Research.

Whatever happens to Apple's bookstore, customers should still be able to read e-books on the company's devices. While Forrester says that slightly more than half of iPad owners say they use the device to read books, many do so on third-party iPad apps like the Kindle app.

FWIW, the talk on Mediagazer is that Apple will win against the DOJ.
