Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is in talks with five major book publishers – Penguin, Simon & Schuster, HarperCollins, Macmillan, and Hachette – to make their books available for download through the iTunes store.

Apple is looking to create a variety of price points for ebooks – $14.99, $12.99, $9.99 and $4.99.  New books that are available in bookstores as hardcovers are likely to be priced at the higher range; however, we believe that the majority of books will be priced lower and estimate the average ebook pricing through Apple will be around $8 for 2010.  We also expect eBooks pricing to decline to around $6.7 by the end of Trefis forecast period.
