This article actually has the complaint: https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/apple-sued-do...

The actual complaint leads off with the iBooks thing, which is a terrible start. Apple lost that case and it shouldn’t have; to this day, that result enables Amazon’s effective monopoly on paid ebooks.

  • IIRC, Apple lost that case because they colluded with publishers to raise ebook prices rather than lower them.

    I think they would have won if they hadn’t colluded to set prices.
