Even with the Kindle, we have Amazon trying to act more like Apple with iTunes. And the publishers are probably quite concerned (and understandably so). I think that they're wrong to be concerned, but I understand why they would be.

I will say this. I can see a bit more reason behind some of the...malice of the proponents here.
On the flip, I see even less of a valid *business* argument for the types that malign the frustrated, as there is a living, breathing example of how misguided the industry at least appears to be.
