...book pricing. Apple signed deals that allow publishers to set the prices in Apple's iBooks store, and new e-book best sellers are expected to be priced at $12.99 to $14.99 - which is considerably higher than Amazon's $9.99 price.

Customers flip through piles of plastic sleeves, looking for an unseen classic or the latest that the Americans have to offer: Avatar, District 9, Invictus, the second Night at the Museum, the first Godfather. One can find Desperate Housewives and 24. At about one toman each (approximately $1), the DVDs are affordable as an occasional indulgence for most residents of the capital (even if a copy of Reservoir Dogs turns...
