Okay. I like Google, it's my homepage and my email. I wasn't calling it a scam and I didn't call them names. I understand that it's clearly labeled when books must be read online. This is just the first time I have heard of this kind of thing so let me rephrase:

In my personal opinion, I feel like if I pay for an ebook I should be able to read it on my ereader. I am not comfortable sitting at a computer reading a lengthy novel. But then again, I don't use Kindle for PC for reading free books either so clearly this is not for me.

I do find it interesting that this is being offered and wonder what percentage of people will pay for a service like this. Are the non-downloadable books significantly discounted?
