It makes no sense for anyone to sign an exclusive deal. These deal hurt the customers and the authors/publishers. I'll help pirate the hell out of any exclusive eBook if I can. And I don't find it morally objectionable to take money out of the hands of the author and/or publisher. It's not my fault for the exclusive deal. If you are an author and want me to stop pirating your work, stop making exclusive deals.
In another thread, you are critisizing someone for removing the drm from their library ebooks so they can use them on their reader. Now your'e talking about pirating ebooks (and once again, bashing Amazon). Where do you really stand?
