Apple only sells music and music players; Apple does not produce music. Amazon is trying to produce books as well as sell books and a book-reading device. That is a major -- and significant -- difference.
Apple never told musicians that they couldn't sell their music with a buy now option unless they let Apple produce their recordings. Amazon has told publishers and authors that if you want the buy now option for print-on-demand (POD) books, then you must use Amazon's POD services. That is a major -- and significant -- difference.
