So really, we do have to blame exclusivity and the fragmentation we have on Amazon. So basically, we have Apple in one corner causing the agency model and Amazon in the other causing exclusivity and fragmentation.
Are you going to lend them your time machine to allow them to have used a format that didn't exist when they were developing the first Kindle?
