Apple: we broke "Amazon's monopolistic grip" on e-book industry
Apple told several news outlets. “The launch of the iBookstore in 2010 fostered innovation and competition, breaking Amazon’s monopolistic grip on the publishing industry. Since then customers have benefited from eBooks that are more interactive and engaging. Just as we’ve allowed developers to set prices on the App Store, publishers set prices on the iBookstore.”
This is true, and exactly why I think Apple will win this case.
