Counter-intuitive?

Doesn't it make sense to remove books that slam the head of Apple from within the Apple Stores? If there was a "Microsoft" store, would you buy anything from there if they had a book slamming Bill Gates?

Uber-geeks, like many of us, know that the book exists other places (and we read various forums and RSS feeds for more info.) but many of the people I see in the Apple Stores who have the money to buy Apple products (luckily, the Apple Stores are situated in a close proximity) are middle-aged, un-techy consumers who want something that works (the pinnacle of public opinion of un-workiness is Windows.)

I'm a Mac kinda guy, and I think that it's part of the movement towards gaining market share to accentuate positive spin and negate negative spin. (Is that a double-negative?)
