Apple and Amazon are barreling toward a showdown

[This reminds me of nothing so much as rationing in war-time Britain. 
Shoppers had to be registered at shops for each type of goods [meat, 
butter, cheese and so on. But that was a time of emergency, and a 
question of distribution logistics. Apple's success is, after all, a 
question of snobbery; this looks more like attempted enslavement!]

Apple and Amazon are barreling toward a showdown — and neither
side wants to talk about it
