And what everyone seems to forget is that Apple was the industry leader in online music sales. By a lot.
Thus, it seems likely that if anyone has the clout to get DRM removed from books, it would be Amazon, not Apple, that would make it happen. I've never seen the iBookstore as a serious competitor with Amazon.
And anyone who thinks Apple is going to lead the charge in making ebooks readable everywhere needs to remember two things. 1) It was only very recently that you could read an eBook bought from the iBookstore on your Mac. 2) There is no Android app for reading books bought at the iBookstore. So Apple has shown a distinct preference *against* platform neutrality, and I see no need for them to push for it now.
