Do you think that Amazon pays Apprentice Alf?

I suspect that Apple probably would not sell more books if they paid the creator of Requiem to update his software. As a percentage, very few people ever bother to DRM content. We are very much the exception rather than the rule. From Apple's point of view, the iTunes book store is for that percentage of people who want to buy the latest best seller on their iPad for the least amount of effort. I suspect that the revenue that Apple gets from ebooks is orders of magnitude less than what they get for music, apps or movies.
