Agreed. I'll leave that to class-action lawyers to argue, though. I'm not OK with this change bigger picture because of that. I wouldn't have bought any tablet without book access. And I'm not gonna keep buying Apple hardware if I hafta wonder what they might try next that might limit my access to books.
Good thing is, Amazon has announced a curated Android app store (no date set yet), and that's what I'm waiting for -- some kinda screening for apps -- because I just want tech to work. I don't want to mess with it. I could if I had to, but I'd rather not.
