Apple would only be shooting itself in the foot by refusing to allow apps from major corporations that are already demanding them (and therefore losing income gained through corporate licensing). If they don't allow it, the apps will simply end up on competitive devices (some of which are right around the corner), losing Apple all of that business.
No: Apple will agree to the apps. And at least some of the apps will allow owners to read independently-purchased e-books as well. People unhappy with the iPad arrangement will simply use other hardware and buy elsewhere. So Apple will not control the market, they will simply be one more influential factor among others.
