Apple's entry into the eReader business has already had some repercussions. Amazon is resisting calls from publishers to raise Kindle prices from $9.99 to $14.99 - the Apple iBook Store price on the iPad for its equivalent books. The NYTimes reports [and now confirmed with more details at Slashgear] that all MacMillan books have been yanked from Amazon website as the parties negotiate over fees. Amazon has to be careful because if big book publishers move to the Apple iPad exclusively that will diminish the value of the Kindle which is already under attack from many competitors and a clearly better iPad eReader.
