Apple didn't destroy the cd. Mp3 and the Internet did. Before apple, there was napster and all its clones. Apple just provided an easy legal way to get music. And apple didn't have much to do with selling music before the iPod. They were and still are a h/w company. I don't think they ever had a dominant position in music sales as amazon does in ebook sales.
to be analogous, there would have had to be an explosion in illegal ebook sharing b4 amazon came along. But amazon was already a big player in book selling, then they as far as most people are concerned created the ebook market. The kindle leveraged and extended amazon's dominance, like windows did for Microsoft on the PC.
