I would agree, except that it's not all that different than what how the Kindle works. Plus, there are many ways to bypass iTunes, if you don't like it, and I don't see how it would be different for ebooks.

If Apple enters the field, it would be a good thing: more competition. The you can chose to get an Apple device, or something else.

(Think of it this way: if Apple had not rolled out the iPhone, I doubt we'd have seen the mad scramble to improve UI, and particularly touch-screen UI, among phone manufacturers.)
