Apple Responds To eBook Price Fixing Claims

Apple is finally speaking out about being sued by the Justice Department over allegedly  colluding with publishers to fix the prices of eBooks.

Apple spokesman Tom Neumayr released this statement, which was first published on AllThingsDigital. He writes:

The DOJ’s accusation of collusion against Apple is simply not true. The launch of the iBookstore in 2010 fostered innovation and competition, breaking Amazon’s monopolistic grip on the publishing industry. Since then customers have benefited from eBooks that are more interactive and engaging.
