Which is not how it should work, in my opinion. The author owns the information, they should be able to sell the information how they see fit, regardless of the tool used to
format the information.
I first wrote my novel in Microsoft Word. I would not support a clause in the Word EULA that said that Microsoft could dictate where and how I sold my .doc file. I now have the novel stored in Scrivener, and I use their export function combined with Sigil to create the final epub. I would not support a clause in the Scrivener and/or Sigil EULAs saying that their creators could dictate where and how I sold my .epub file.
Why are people so invested in saying that Apple should be allowed to effectively block sales of
information because someone used their tool to
format the information?
It's Okay If You're Apple, I guess.
