It matters to them, a lot more than it does to the techie 1% - they just don't realize it yet.

It also matters to the publishers, because they've locked the majority of the market into a retailer they're afraid is going to eat them for lunch. But I don't have a lot of sympathy for them. They've made their bed, now they can lie in it.
I can see it mattering if people with Kindles want to get the new nook with the light.
