I think it will have no major impact on e-book pricing or availability at all.

I suspect the iFap is going to end up being largely irrelevant to e-book publishing (at least for fiction) even as it shakes, rattles, and rolls e-periodical publishing.

I hope, of course, that it leads to more e-books becoming available at lower prices.

I fear we're going to end up with a walled e-book garden locked behind some new, draconian, Apple DRM scheme and/or locked into needing to use the overpriced underfeatured iFap for reading on.
