I think the Kindle/Nook's wireless access is a big deal and don't see paying $20 a month or so for wireless on an iPad. Then again, I hate the subscription model (pay even if you're not using it).
Anyway, welcome Apple, to the world we've been playing in for a decade or more.

I thought he said no one reads so apple wont be looking at launching a product for the ebook market?
I dont think the iPad is an Ereader. it can be used to do ereading but so can the touch and iPhone.
$12.99 and $14.99 seem like a fair price to me for a new book, in the keynote they showed a couple of paperbacks at $4.99(twilight and lovely bones I believe) so $14.99 dropping to $4.99 seems reasonable to me.
