  • "Apple Verdict Marks Digital Power Shift in Book Publishing: E-book prices have fallen sharply since the major publishers settled the case."  Time 7:24 AM
  • "Between Amazon and a hard place: By the letter of the law, a U.S. judge was right to rule that Apple colluded with five of the world's heavyweight publishers to drive up e-book prices. But it is clear their collective pricing gambit was born more of desperation than greed.

Furthermore, Apple hasn't given up the fight: it plans to appeal."  MacNewsWorld 7:32 AM
