The E-Book Battle
The scuffling for position in the e-book space continues, with Apple's entry (the iPad) making Amazon nervous:
Amazon appears to be responding to the Apple threat by waging a publisher-by-publisher battle, trying to keep as many books as possible out of Apple's hands, while preserving as much flexibility as it can to set its own prices.
The competition should make things better for all of us, but in the short term, it will likely mean more stunts like Amazon's brief removal of Macmillan from the store.
