I beg to differ.
Apple has
everything to do with breaking Amazons Gorilla hold on the Publishers.
All the other e-book sellers together, probably did not move as many titles as Amazon did.
Amazon and Wal*mart dictate what
they want to suppliers if they want to sell their brand in
our stores.
Costco specifies package size/price point to their suppliers.
(Lone) Gorillas usually get their way.
2 Gorillas fighting each other, let others alone to play their games.
