Worst case scenario would be an 80/20 market split between Amazon and Apple, which is plenty bad anyway.
I agree. You need competition to keep companies in line. If Amazon is the only book seller, then they will jack the prices way up. In addition, competition forces companies to innovate in ways that consumers prefer. The customer wins if you have multiple book stores.
