What I find truly unethical, is ebook sellers trying to take away your fair-use rights via questionable license agreements and then wanting to charge as much or more for what they are trying to "rent" to you. That is truly unethical and they all should be ashamed of themselves.
But that is another story.

Remember, Mobileread has also gotten a 'take-down' notice from Amazon for 'Kindle PID' and 'Kindlefix' tools and the visual wiki's created for using same in the past. You can understand their hesitance to get in a tussle with big corporations.
