Lower prices tell the story
It would seem that Apple's argument is that Amazon's stranglehold on the market makes it ok for them to create a new reality that breaks Amazon's hold on the backs of the consumer. Ultimately the government protections should be in large part pointed towards the consumer, not protecting one of the richest companies in the world from lower profits than they would prefer. Bottom line is that since DOJ stepped in ebook prices have generally been lower. So I'm a fan.
I love ebooks. They are convenient and don't require me to continually add bookshelves. But I have trouble paying more for an ebook than for a physical book which actually required additional resources to produce, warehouse and ship. I'm just saying that there should be some sort of reduction in price for an ebook versus the physical book. And it is my observation that this has been more frequently true when Amazon has been on top of the pricing hill than when Apple was.
