This whole thing is pretty complex. I'd say the crux of the issue is Apple's non-compete clause on price. You can't list your ebook cheaper on Amazon than the price with Apple. But what if you don't have control over pricing at Amazon? That's where we'd be if Amazon was still using the wholesale model. For this lawsuit, the problem is still the publishers since they insisted on the agency model with Amazon. The publishers are "price fixing," not Apple and not Amazon.
