But you are right to point out that an individual is responsible for her (or his) own actions. (This was one of my points in my previous contribution to this thread.)

I am talking in general. And I do agree that individuals are responsible for his/her actions.
I can see the justification on some of this though. I'm not saying I agree or disagree, just that I understand it.Do you want to carry around a paperback book and your reader just to read a given book series because the publisher is not able to understand how to publish a series of books as eBooks so the series is complete?
So why cannot publishers realize that when you put out book 3 of a series as an eBook, that books 1 & 2 also NEED to be there as eBooks too? The other obnoxious thing that do is book 1 is Adobe PDF and book 2 is MS Reader and book 3 is BBeB. So how do you deal when they do those sorts of things?
I think the publishers should hire some people who actually have a portable reading device and actually read eBooks to help with them. I'd be happy to give advise to some publishing company on how to do it.
