And what I did notice is how you seem to have conflicting opinions. While you might not feel an 'immediate' worry, you were obviously concerned enough to reference the possible loss of access in three other posts. ...
I was simply trying to provide information that I thought some would find useful. While it may no longer be of interest to you, it certainly may be of interest to others.

I saw no need for us to correct the NYT, because the story signaled only that losing book access was a possibility. Others and I e-mailed Apple, hoping for clarification, because we didn't assume that the info was true. If you feel need to correct the NYT, you're certainly free to, of course. I doubted immediate loss of books was likely, and when no one else confirmed that, I figured it wasn't an issue.
What Apple did come out and say to other media outlets, about enforcing inside/outside sales (and the implications of that), that was the deal-breaker for me. As I posted, that meant to me that I could no longer count on Apple to deliver a key feature that led me to buy an iPad. Of course I'm concerned about the possible loss of books longer term. I spelled that out in my posts.
