No, it would not.

This is a Your Mileage may Vary issue, sure, but if the 'cost' of getting Simon & Schuster on board is to force people to go physically to their libraries to check out ebooks, then I know I speak for a lot of people -- and, please, pardon my French -- when I say F*^! Simon & Schuster.

Do please pardon my French.
