Resource AppleInsider told a funny story: during a presentation iPad, when Steve Jobs has not yet disappeared from the scene, top managers Amazon began phoning publishers and find out more details on options for cooperation with Apple. At the same time they tried to persuade them not to leave the platform Kindle, that some of them actually started to do shortly after the presentation. Some consumers have already concluded an agreement with Apple, and demanded from Amazon similar conditions: $ 12,99-14,99 a bestseller. Among them, Macmillan, Hachette Book Group and HarperCollins.

On the one hand, Amazon is understandable: its conditions are most beneficial to consumers. If the typical bestseller Kindle costs about $ 10, then at iPad its price is $ 13-15. But publishers can be understood: In the second case, they get more profit. And attract an audience than Steve Jobs is, first and foremost a powerful platform iTunes and a huge number of users loyal to the brand Apple. Meanwhile, moving exclusively to the iPad, publisher risk losing those customers who remain with the Kindle.

AppleInsider quoted from the New York Times: «In order not to lose current subscribers Kindle, some publishers think hard to sign a new contract with Amazon and offer free limited application to view their content on the iPad. Later, when the device is able to reproduce the full Amazon multimedia content, publishers can release already paid product, which will look the same and work on different devices.
