Get the idea?

It's the principle. Apple is going out of their way to make their devices less convenient and useful to their customers. The fact that it is still more convenient than going to a store is irrelevant. Yes, there are more important things in the world than needing more clicks to buy an ebook. I can't stand tech companies who don't respect technology.
Crippling your customer's device to spite the competition is disgraceful, and it's anti-progress and anti-technology.
But it is a free world and Apple are certainly within their rights to be lame. It's just a shame that their brilliant marketing/snake oil salesmanship does such a good job of conning people into buying their mostly substandard products.
