Because now Apple will be selling books. They have not done that before.
Please be aware that I am neither an Apple hater or an Apple fanboy. I have a half dozen PCs. Two of them are Macs, the rest Windows. I have an iPod touch, but also a Kindle. I would like nothing more than to be wrong and be able to read my Kindle books on the 3G iPad I have on order. I just do not EXPECT to be able to and that was not the primary reason I ordered an iPad.
My point is just that given the general trend of Apple's behavior in the past, it would surprise me if they allow such apps on the iPad. Clearly they have the legal right to ban the apps. Whether it is moral or even a good idea for Apple is the subject of much debate. The real question is will they? We may know as early as a week from Saturday.
Right now all of this talk, mine and that of others, is just speculative guessing. Perhaps entertaining, but certainly not definitive.
