According to analysts the deal Apple is offering is especially designed to take Amazon’s Kindle completely out of the tablet business. They claim publishers are being offered a 30/70 split on ebook profits, with publishers taking the lion’s share; in contrast, Amazon is believed to demand a 50/50 split, only matching the presumed Apple deal if publishers agree to Kindle exclusivity.
Analyst’s reckon the device will launch in late March or April, priced at $1,000 each and with Apple selling as many as 1m tablets per month.
