No, it's not censorship; yes, Apple has the right to do it; and, yes, she has the right to walk out.
Actually, I don't think they have the right to do it. You CAN'T offer a course on self-publishing and not mention Amazon.

I use a Canon camera and I buy books specifically about my Canon camera to learn it better. What if I owned a Sony Reader and they wouldn't allow me to buy or read any books on Canon cameras because Sony also sells cameras?

Amazon has the book "iBooks Author For Dummies." They obviously don't ban books about competitors. They understand their market -they are a book store so they carry the books their customers want to buy and they aren't worked about how-to books that show people how to publish elsewhere.

Very short sighted on iBooks part. Kudos to Holly Lisle for standing up to them.
