Is Amazon bullying Apple and other booksellers by not allowing them to sell books or download content on Kindles? Yes, Amazon is no better than Apple by using a proprietary DRM scheme. No rebuttal from me on that one, point stonetools  |
Well, either ereader apps are essential to Ipad's success or they aren't. You can't have it both ways. You should understand that it was only AFTER it was clear that the Ipad was a runaway success that Amazon and the other booksellers jumped on board.
Quite frankly, if you look at the Top Ten free apps in the App Store, there is consistently only one ereader app there- Ibooks.
