Though APPL did rather well with itunes in a proprietary mode. But then they got the jump on everyone(save "free" Napster) in compiling a licensed data base for sale.
I believe AMZN probably has a sizable lead in licensed book data base in this case. So if APPL has the preferred hardware and AMZN the software lead, who knows what arranged marriages might occur?
Me, I still like the "pulp" in my pulp fiction and the friction in my vinyl. [g]
