Actually, the order says nothing about restricting his activities to ebooks. The court agrees that he should only ask for talks with people with regard to his authorised responsibility:

Thus, according to appellees, the monitor was empowered to demand only documents relevant to his authorized responsibility as so defined, and to interview Apple directors, officers, and employees only on subjects relevant to that responsibility. We agree with that interpretation of the district court’s order.

and that responsibility is defined just above as:
Quote:
the injunction allowed the monitor to assess the appropriateness of the compliance programs adopted by Apple and the means used to communicate those programs to its personnel.

i.e. nothing to do with ebooks specifically, but to do with compliance programs generally.
What both sides have reaffirmed is that Bromwich does not have the authority to actively look for compliance violations. But I don't believe he has ever been accused of doing that.
