even if she hates ebooks in general.
You really need a snarky blogger to form a narrative for you?

Nothing in those quotes indicates a dislike for ebooks themselves, rather a worry that corporations will exploit them. Which is quite consistent with her follow up, her taking issue with a corporation futher trying to devalue the worth of books in digital formats to consumers.

I'm glad to see libraries are already cutting them out, hopefully if we as consumers do the same, they'll stop trying to pawn off a subpar product on us.

It's a funny development, we see marketplaces and ebook manifacturers trying to figure out how they can add additional value to digital books, adding in social technology etc.
And then we see the publishing companies trying their damn hardest to still sell the ebooks, but diminish their value as much as they possibly can.

I wonder why that is?
