Well it looks like the publishers won this one. It makes me wonder if Apple uses the payment model that Macmillan wanted to move to with Amazon?

That might have given them some leverage. Whereas before losing Amazon would have been a big deal, now they have B&N and soon Apple to move to. Both Apple and B&N have highly effective distribution networks that people could easily switch to for Macmillan books.
