    The plaintiffs in an e-book price-fixing suit levied against Apple (AAPL) and book publishers argue in a new filing they have enough circumstantial evidence to establish an antitrust conspiracy existed. The filing comes amidst reports the DOJ could soon reach a settlement, one that would allow Amazon (AMZN) and other e-book retailers to again set prices. That could be a negative for publishers enjoying huge margins under the current setup.

    This is very pro consumer and should be supported. Books should all go electronic and slice the prices dramatically. Textbooks are a joke w/r to pricing.

    Don't ask Scott Turow. He is for high margins. The hell with the consumer. Typical left mentality.

    There is a place for book publishers, but not if they continue to follow the model of the RIAA and attempt to preserve their outmoded business model.
