What is interesting is that these 3 publishers settled knowing that by settling, they
1)
pay $25 million in restitution each ($250 mil total) in the USA
2) pay $$$___in restitution each in Europe and other territories
3) dragging it out in court will further their goal of keeping ebook prices HIGH for as long as possible.
Where would the ebook market be today if Apple also used wholesale like Amazon, B&N, Sony did back in early 2010? Faster adoption? Lower prices?
