Now you bring up the modern bête noire of the cloud... I have a Personal Computer... the key is in the first word... this was to put computing power into the hands of the user rather than the mainframe priesthood and now we're going to be putting everything back into someone else's hands... no, thank you, this neo-luddite wants personal computing with my personal data on my data storage and that includes my books, films and music... I can even use them then when the broadband crashes...
I also have no need to sync my books to other mobile devices, I have an eReader for reading, that's what it's for, why would I read on another general purpose mobile device that isn't optimised for reading?
