If I had my way, Apple would be forced to give up eBooks. They would be forced to remove iBooks from all app stores. Apple would be made to refund money to everyone who downloaded iBooks regardless of buying an eBook from Apple or not.

Also, all of the BPHs involved should be made to give money back to the consumers and be forced to lower prices to $9.99 for any eBook that has a hardcover version and when a paperback is out (regardless of the paperback price), lower the price to $4.99.

That would do very well for the consumer and would teach them a lesson. This two years nonsense is not going to do a damn thing. All it means is in two years, they go back to agency and we get screwed yet again.
