[QUOTE=Quoth;4270005]Hilarious. Frying pan and Fire.
Amazon has 92% of English language ebook market.
Apple for iPhone and iPad is a greedy 90% profit margin megacorp, one of the largest.]
Correct, and it was going to take an Apple-esque company to give Amazon competition. Doesn't matter if you personally like Apple's products or would use them.
Did the price of ebooks go down after Apple was smacked down by the courts?
Did competition flourish?
Do book creators have more or less leverage in their dealings with the tech companies?
Even if you hate BOTH Amazon and Apple....having two giant competing companies would give authors/publishers leverage. As it is now....you can't defy Amazon and make money in ebooks.
Amazon was and is the threat to a healthy competitive ebook marketplace.
