First, I'm not upset at all.
Second, I make a distinction between software and data, so the Mac/PC difference wouldn't bother me -- though with virtualization of operating systems these days, it's not as big an issue at any rate.
I consider ebooks as data -- and like the other important data I plan to keep around, I use the most open formats possible -- and my truly key data has indeed followed me through many generations of hardware and different operating systems.
