There is something missing in this story.

I'm not saying Apple wants to kill ebooks, they want to sell them and make money. If anyone wants to kill ebooks it's the traditional publishers because they are running scared that it will destroy their print business. My take on it is that they feel if the set the price of the ebook the same or more than the print version they will sell the print version and continue their revenue stream. If they sell a few ebooks at the same price (with drm) then they've made even more money.
