And they continue to wonder why people "pirate" (using their definition of the term)....
Then they should mandate that every ebook reader MUST be designed to handle ALL possible ebook formats, and that any ereaders that don't currently do so, MUST have a firmware update to bring the up to spec.
If they want to promote an economic system where the free market drives the economy, then if a Kindle book is priced cheaper than one I can buy from the Sony Bookstore, I should be able to buy that Kindle book and have my Sony T1 natively read it - if I'm not to be allowed to convert the Kindle ebook that I purchased into a format that my T1 can read automatically.
Only fair, right?
