Is the Apple Netbook Really an Ebook Reader?

From Gizmodo -

Andy Ihnatko of the Chicago Sun-Times thinks the 10" panels being ordered by Apple will probably be used on a new ebook. According to him, he keeps hearing about how trucks would arrive at the Apple campus, and offload huge loads of books. Since Apple does not have a big employee library on-campus, then they must be doing something with these books, like turning them into text.

Apple has long been rumored to be preparing for the launching of a bookstore on the iTunes store. Naturally they would want to make sure that they have a very large stock of electronic titles when they do open. So put another way, iTunes could compete with Amazon in the literary marketplace with its own Kindle version.
