Until you made your bold and misleading statement implying you can just pop over to B&N, Sony, or an Overdrive/ADE public library and grab any book to just drop into your Kindle without any format manipulation, I had never heard anyone claim it could be done.

All anyone did was respond with their disbelief in your claim. Not once did anyone claim "better than thou", just "better for my purposes". They merely asked for clarification that you, amongst all those who have said differently, can simply and easily (for instance) borrow a book from the public library using ADE.
Try re-reading the OP's first sentence. If thats not a "mine is better than yours" I don't know what is. And Daffy never claimed she could grab any book without format manipulation, she simply stated she could also buy those books from those sellers. She stated she could borrow from the library....period.

But again, as she states, there is an ebook reader for everyone. Personally, I am glad I chose my Kindle over the nook, but to each their own.
