I don't want to risk my content to some cloud somewhere that I have no control over. I understand about the cloud, I just don't like it.
As someone who lives behind a dialup connection, with little chance of getting broadband anytime soon, the Cloud is pretty worthless to me and my neighbors.

If was forced to have all my books in the Cloud I would be very upset.
