Questions about the publishing cabal's timing.
Background:
5 Publishers are trying to force an new ebook pricing scheme on the industry. Some ebook retailers (fictionwise, BoB) have stopped delivering/selling books for the 5 publishers.
The timing seems to correspond with the release of the IPad. Apple has touted the IPad as a reader.
- Will this hurt IPad sales?
- Is this an attempt by the publishers to force Apple's book store to fall in line with the new publishing model?
