Nicely put.
VHS vs Beta showed us that the consumer is not always concerned with the technical details when choosing. The iBookstore doesn't offer any more convenience than Amazon's kBookstore, but Apple already has the iTunes model that worked quite well for them and provides a warm and fuzzy illusion that "they know what they are doing".
