Actually they are price matching Amazon from the
sounds of it.
Also Apple will implement epub correct. Look at webkit its the most compliant web browser. Look at mov it video is h.264. They are known to use standards and do it well. The drm wont be Adobes since look at how Apple still doesn't allow flash. I am also looking forward to a real epub reader.
btw Apple wont remove other book apps they wont need to since they will have a more rich experience and any of the book reading apps like the Kindle app will not cause issues. Remember you didn't need DRMed music in iTunes back when iTunes had DRM. Also remember Job's broke the music industry on DRM maybe he can do it again with publishers?
