With iPad 3 rumored to be on the way—possibly boasting a sharper screen and talking personal assistant Siri—Apple CEO Tim Cook may drop the price of the iPad 2 so he can go after the cheaper tablet market now dominated by Amazon's Kindle and Barnes & Noble's Nook. Analysts figure a $200 to $300 price tag could get consumers' attention. “At [that price,] you're talking about an Apple device that becomes a challenge for the more dedicated e-readers,” said Gartner analyst Michael Gartenberg. The move could also give Apple's iBookstore a bigger presence in the ebooks market.

He puts Amazon at 60% to 65% and BarnesandNoble.com at 20%.Authors and book publishers would like to see several strong competitors.
