I'm bent! This stupid iPad is going to drive the cost of e-books up. My wife got an Amazon Kindle for Christmas and was able to download books for $9.99 max...now, Mac wants to get in on this piece of technology and (according to a Yahoo! article) are going to force publishers to raise their prices to $14.99 if they want their books to be compatible with this stupid thing (they allegedly already have Macmillan).

I say we get our money together and design some pants that have pockets big enough to carry the thing.

Where did you see that Apple had anything to do with that? I had read that MacMillan thought that the $9.99 was too cheap and would cause fewer people to buy their paper books.

Its already been done. I'm glad that was a short lived fashion. Now if the "skinny" jeans would go away.

why do you think the man purse (it is not a bag, a bag holds gym clothes, or is made of plastic or paper) was created....So all the metrosexuals can carry their latest overpriced gadgets. If I want to read I go buy a book.....

It's easier on the eyes and requires no batteries (rechargeable or otherwise).

This may be true...but, Amazon stopped selling Macmillan books right about the same time that Steve Jobs made the iPad announcement. Macmillan was over a barrel with Amazon more or less controlling the market. Now that there will be STRONG competition from the masses that like the iWhatevers, there is someone with which to wage a price war. Personally...for what they are saving in paper, ink, binding, and shipping...$9.99 seems more than a fair price to pay for a book. Taking the price up a buck or so wouldn't be bad, but they are raising the price 50% after the buyer of the device paid hundreds of dollars under the understanding that books cost $9.99...

This was on the radio yesterday. It's not that Apple is making them charge a certain price, infact, it's the exact opposite, Apple is letting publishers charge whatever they want for their books. The catch is that Apple is now asking for a percentage of sales, which will more then likely temporarily drive the prices of books.
