Before: price competition between booksellers like Kindle, Nook, Sony, Kobo etc..
After: no price competition between booksellers
With no price competition, the prices that consumers pay will rise. This whole DOJ lawsuit is about price competition (before) and the lack thereof (after).
Itunes use wholesale for selling digital music, digital movie and digital movie rental. There is price competition in digital music (a popular song like We Are Young or Somebody That I used to know have different prices on Itunes vs AmazonMP3 vs GooglePlay). Not so with popular ebook titles. "The price will be the same."
