Competition and price are not the same thing. Amazon went from over 90% of the market to under 70%. That's pretty much the definition of adding competition. As far as price goes, it depends. The government basically said that if you look at the books that Amazon was selling at cost or at a loss, then then price went up. Apple said that if you look at the ebook prices as a whole, prices either remained steady or went down. So, it depends on which books you were buying. The prices that I paid during that time frame stayed pretty steady. Your mileage may vary.
