@timoreilly on DRM and ebooks: "People who don't pay you generally wouldn't have paid you anyway." so well said.

Is Apple already causing disruption in the ebook market? Less than a week after Apple announced its entry into the eBook market, Amazon has pulled MacMillan Books from its Kindle Store as the result of a dispute between the publisher and Amazon. Apparently, MacMillan wants Amazon to raise its prices from $9.99 to ~$15.00 which is what Apple will sell its books for. There has been a lot of speculation that Apple wooed print publishers with higher margins via distribution through the soon to be launched iTunes Book Store. (via NY Times)
