In some ways I hope Apple just use iTunes because I don't want to have yet another piece of software on my PC with all the new headaches that may cause.
But then lots of peeps hate iTunes so that wouldn't suit everyone. |

I just hope the tablet has epub and Adobe Digital Editions support. I know Apple and Adobe aren't the best of friends, but it would be nice to be able to put free library ebooks on the tablet like you can with the Sony Readers.

Apple controls 92% of the mobile app market, so the device will definitely try to leverage that. This means it will definitely be a multi-purpose device and you can probably load the e-reader software of your choice on it.
All this talk about video and books and music on the device, but not much about games. I think the device will be a gaming platform as much as anything. I've got a dozen games that I've loaded onto my iphone and my young nephews drop their DS and Wii whenever I'm around them and play the iphone. |

I think it will be an almost certainty that most (if not all) iPhone/Touch apps will work on the new device and most of them will scale really well.
Including Stanza I suspect. |

Big news: if Barnes and Noble is the exclusive eBook store on the Tablet
Not so big news: if its just another app, along with the Amazon app, the Kobo app, etc.. My guess: Its just a B&N app. |

Ditto. We're talking about Apple here. DOes anyone really think they will let someone else run their ebookstore?

I'll go on record saying any book offering will be integrated into iTunes. It could launch separately and integrate later. We've had a lot of debate about the merits of iTunes. I don't like it as an interface but I do admire the one-stop shopping and automatic sync it represents.

no reason to have any store be the exclusive since Apple already has media sales channels and apps from other vendors.
