Ya know all these companies are full of $hit! Apple wants to lock up the market, Sony hardly has any room to talk since they won't change their software to allow B&N purchased epub books to be read on the Sony readers. Amazon wants to lock everyone into their Kindle & bookstore. And the publishers want to price fix & drm ALL BOOKS!

Screw them all! It is just this behavior that pushes me more & more to go to the net for all of my book needs.

I want to be able to purchase my books from ANY damn store I want & to put them on ANY reader/tablet that I have at any given time. If you refuse to accomodate me, I'll find another way to get what I want.
