So the iPad looks great. Too bad that according to Slate's Big Money--2nd Paragraph of the following site:
http://www.thebigmoney.com/features/...ota-halt-sales
"Apple is asking publishers to set two e-book price points for hardcover best sellers: $12.99 and $14.99, with fewer titles offered at $9.99."
Well, I guess Steve never had much respect for readers--after all nobody reads anymore. I think rising e-book prices will discourage a lot of people from e-readers.
I could see wanting an iPad someday, but it rankles that Apple cares so little for their customers. They're giving us this handy gadget that can do everything--even read books, but they're also going to make sure that we pay more for those books than we do right now.
I hope they don't win this one. I'm rooting for Amazon. At least Amazon is trying to provide a reasonably priced product.
