Now apart from being used by macmillan as leverage in negotioations what role do Apple have in this? |
Known role for Apple? From the links provided, which I read, at this point in time Apple's role in this affair is not known.
There is conjecture that executives at Apple are talking to executives at MacMillian, exchanging information much like we are on this thread, which is to say the conjecture is Apple is telling MacMillan, "we are not going to have a very successful rollout of MacMillan on iBooks, dude, with those prices at Amazon."
