Regarding iBooks links to Kindle Store
/My recommendation would have been for Apple to suggest to Godin that he change the links to point to iBookstore versions of the books, but if Godin didn’t want to, to let it slide.
I have never understood why online retailers are expected to be as open as the web ideally is. If these are the rules for selling content through Apple, then these are the rules for selling content through Apple. Simple.
@gruber I don’t buy the iBookstore/B&N equivalency. Apple is asking for books to be changed b/c content doesn’t accord w/commercial policy.
Seriously? No. Apple has no problems with the content. This is with a commercial link to an alternate store. This is like Montana's buying steaks from a guy who includes directions to and a menu for The Keg. There's no problem with the beef, it's the push to a rival company that is the problem.
