MacNotables #1006: Adam and Tonya Engst and Andy Ihnatko Review the Amazon/Macmillan Skirmish and Discuss the iPad

Feb 2, 2010 | MacNotables

In the first of a two-part conversation with Adam Engst, Tonya Engst and Andy Ihnatko, the panel examines the short-lived battle between Macmillan Publishing and Amazon. Who won, who lost and the obvious, “what were they thinking???” are all discussed. Find out why the battle was fought and what it may mean for the future of the ebook market. The panel then turns their attention to Apple’s impending iPad and how it figures into the ebook market, what it is likely to do right, and some of the questions that still remain.
