I'm gonna go ahead and be less polite here.

It's retarded. Those people aren't customers, and "potential customers" is like "a little pregnant".

A person is or isn't a buyer. So put some "DRM" on the things (as opposed to DEEEARRRREMMMM...Dum Dum Duummm) and Count de Monet.

Is it really *that* hard to leap that gap for these people?! Talent and smarts...I guess they aren't necessarily a pair, eh?

Heh. Its not my money being left out there....whatever. My poor Sony Reader sits devoid of commercial books save one because of this foolishness..

Suckers.
