Complaining that B&N hasn't yet solved the ebook trade, security and international copyright issues that no one else has yet managed to fully solve, sounds a lot like blaming the airlines for not having invented transporter technology yet.

I'm not saying people shouldn't be frustrated. I am saying that blame should not be placed at B&N's feet. They are doing what they can with the resources at their disposal, according to existing laws that they did not write. They are also not a charity, and so should not be expected to do something that will cause them to lose money.

Any complaints about international trade and copyright procedures should be taken to your respective governments, not to a bookstore chain.
