Last time I looked Amazon was still advertising 'Buy it once, read it Everywhere.'
If through some oversight, 'Everywhere' doesn't extend to accommodation of other reading devices by other manufactures like Sony, and if the consumer is simply trying to help Amazon to correct this deficiency, then how can that be a crime?
