Can I clarify something here, please? You're saying that the one and only reason you bought an iPad was the fact that you could buy Kobo books through the Kobo app on the iPad, and the fact that you now have to buy books through the Safari browser has turned your iPad into a worthless piece of junk? Have I got that right?
I bought the iPad to be able to buy from different book sellers on one platform with equal ease and then read them on that same platform.

The change in policy makes the product less customer friendly without providing any offsetting benefits. It is only intent is to benefit Apple. Subsequently does that make it now less of a product in my eyes - yes definitely. Is it now a piece of junk? For me, yes, because I am not going to be using it any more. Is that my choice - definitely.

Obviously you feel its a minor inconvenience. I don't have a problem with that. For me its not how simple or difficult it is to make the change. It is the principle of being forced to accept an undesirable change to a product I already own, simply to benefit the manufacturer.
