That's not what I said. I didn't even think it was what I'd implied. Speedlever said "Just so that I'm clear, this is no different than having a Kindle and wishing to buy DRM material from B&N, Borders, Sony, etc. Correct?", and you said he wasn't correct, because "Amazon is not a bookseller or a specialty store. Amazon is a Target, a Wal-Mart, a discount mega-mart that also happens to sell books."

I was simply trying to point out that at least one supermarket (ie Tesco) does much the same thing as Amazon, but with e-pubs.

I'm not trying to defend Amazon, nor am I attacking them. I was simply pointing something out, because I was genuinely interested to know what your reaction would be, and I thought it would add to the discussion.
