Someone said that it would be too much trouble for Apple to work up pricing algorithms for their iBook store but do they really need to? All they need is a program that searches Amazon for the price of that title and uses their price. Automated price matching. Let Amazon do all the work of finding the best price.
It's a bit hard to believe they would completely drop the store because it would be a bit embarassing for them to say they failed at selling ebooks. They'd likely keep it to avoid losing face as long as they aren't actually losing money from it.
