Do Apple really push it though? I mean I have an iPad and survive very well with all my real physical CDs instead of music from iTunes. It isn't like it pushes you to buy from them or notifies you to buy. Am I right in remembering that the old Amazon tablets used to advertise on the lock screen?

BTW, I didn't realise that they were renaming iBooks to a daft name like Beats. Thanks.

They also push iBooks the app (it cannot be uninstalled anymore in iOS 8), but you can just buy DRM-free books on O'Reilly or download PDFs and sync them between Mac and iPad.

I don't have an Amazon tablet, but my Kindle has ads for completely uninteresting books right on the home screen.
