Neither Apple nor Amazon are the enemy. I put the blame on publishers who want to keep prices high, even in the environment of reduced publishing and distribution costs.
I already avoid eBooks that cost more than $9.99 and will continue to do so. There are enough books out there that I can always find something else interesting to read until the cost becomes reasonable.
Sure, the power play between device companies has an effect, but in the end us readers will have to vote with our dollars if we're going to break the tyranny of the publishers.
Stopping paying the high prices and join the "Boycott anything over $9.99" forum.
Maybe we can be heard if we all boycott high prices. But in case there are too many who don't, I'll just keep searching for deals under $10.
