I think it's a general discount for all people who sell via iTunes, not just people who publish, but that's only a guess. Perhaps they figure a writer would be more interested in their new Macs. My DH used to be a Mac guy, but he switched over to PC years ago when the schools in Toronto stopped using Mac computers. I tried to get him to go for a Mac when he gets a new computer so that I can have a go at uploading my books directly myself, but he isn't interested.

It doesn't come right out and tell you the discount amount. The exact wording they use on the iTunesConnect dashboard is:

You can purchase up to two Mac computers and two iPods per year at a discounted rate. Discounts are available in the U.S., Canada, and Europe.

There are links to the three different stores, but I think you can only tell how much you're receiving as a discount by comparing the prices to the regular iTunes store. We bought two 32 GB iPods for our daughters' birthday (they're twins) and there was a $60 discount on each. Nothing to sneeze at! And the girls do split their digital reading between their Kobos and their iPods.
